Zzz's and a Z-pak: my pre-race week

Well, the doctor this morning said I probably have a sinus infection.  He prescribed me with a Z-pak (which I'm thinking is probably better than having a cold and just taking meds to suppress my symptoms—as an antibiotic, I'm hoping it will knock this out very quickly!).  The doctor said that I may not feel 100 percent on Sunday, but he sees no reason why I shouldn't still be able to run the race.  He was actually more concerned about my diabetes—asking about how my sugars have been through my training, if I carry glucose with me on runs, do the people I run with know about it... I was like, Doc, I'm good on all that... Trust me!  I just need to know what to do with this new wrench in the plan!  So I'll be taking the Z-pak this week and getting some rest until I feel well again.  It's looking like I may only get in one or two short runs at the most, and I'm just really hoping that I won't still feel weak or tired on race day (or out of my rhythm with the lack of running).

It's kind of a bummer... but that's the way it goes sometimes.  I learned a long time ago to take it as it comes, and do the best you can with what you've got.  Hope is not lost for a complete turnaround and an awesome 13.1!!!

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." ~Hebrews 12:1

Oh... and I'm also drinking lots of z'green tea. :)

Antioxidants... work your magic!
