Hehehe
Thanks to everyone for your well wishes & concern. I am taking good care of myself - many moons ago I had a similiar viral thingy which floored me for 6 weeks & took me 3 months to recover so needless to say, i'm not particularly keen to go down that path again...
I've had a lovely few days. A great night on Friday at CR drinks. It was great to catch up with so many friends - and thanks to Owly for the company ;-) At some stage on Friday night I came up with the great idea of Owly & I heading over to meet the CRs doing the 5kms challenge for breakfast. It didn't seem like such a great idea when I crawled into bed at Owly's at 2am and even less when Owly & co came home an hour later...Still we somehow managed to drag our butt's out of bed in time so we (Chonky, Unc, Owly & myself) made it to the new cafe at the pool just as the challenge was finishing...perfect timing!
After 2 weeks of absolutely no exercise, I finally headed out for a run this morning. The plan was 30mins easy at LSD pace (6:30min/kms). It didn't seem particularly easy - in fact it felt like bloody hard work. Still, 4.59kms later & it's done - and I have nothing else to do today except lie on the couch watching the cricket - assuming there is a full days play ;-)
Hopefully with an easy week this week, I can get back into a full training workload next week. I've got plans....
Mon - weights with Satan
Tues - run (35mins)
Wed - Pilates
Thur - run (30mins)
Fri - Pilates & road trip !
Sat - rest
Sun - Central Coast 9kms race - judging by how I felt this morning, I'll be treating this as a training run & doing it at LSD pace..

Sounds like Friday night was a ball. Saturday morning too :-)
Hope the cricket drags on so you get to slug it out on the couch all day.
I'm glad I'm neither ;)
Great to see you on Friday and can't wait for the weekend. Should be fab fun!
Looks like you might get a session of the cricket in the morning too.
The CC 9k as a training run sounds good. You don't need a hard race at this stage of the recovery.
prisoner Jen, your parole has just been revoked! Hope you enjoyed the cricket and the aussies being neutered! enjoy the CC comeback.
i think you must've jinxed the aussies!
glad to hear you're recovering.
Hey Jen, good to hear you're on the mend.
The 9km sounds like a good plan to get you back on track...be great to catch you again next weekend :)
Great to see your on the mend Jen.
I will be more glad to be a convict when we get the remaining 5 wickets today before the rain arrives !
See you Sunday. :)
Hope CC all goes well (and that I get there). sensible race plan methinks :)
I love your post from Friday - how true. Glad to hear you are feeling better.
