Who would ever think that Christmas and all it's festivities, decorating, card-writing, gift-buying, etc... could interfere with marathon training? Me! All these extra things seem to be snatching up my run time! But on Saturday, somehow among the Christmas choir concerts and piano recitals and shopping for gifts for a Christmas party the very next day - I managed to sneak in a 4 mile run outside!
The weather had warmed up a bit (into the 40's) and the snow was beginning to finally do some melting. I still had to run on the road in some places as opposed to the sidewalk, but I think by the end of this week, the sidewalks should be clear of all snow. It is supposed to be in the 40's all week long.
I will be unable to run again until Wednesday or Thursday. I am hoping I can run on Wednesday but we'll have to see how I feel. Obstacle #4 is a procedure the doctor ordered for me. It is scheluded tomorrow and requires fasting for a couple of days. I'm not sure how energetic I'll feel on Wednesday, so I may have to wait until Thursday to run. I had a sneaky suspicion that the doctor would schedule this test for me and I was right. Hopefully it will provide useful info as to this GI running issue of mine I've had off and on since I trained for the half marathon two April's ago. I do believe it's necessary and will be a very good indicator as to whether or not I will register for a full marathon. I am going to be hopeful.
And if I don't feel up to running on Wednesday, it may be the perfect chance to at least get some more Christmas shopping in!
