how much snot can one person have??

So I've been sick for one week...started last Friday in Destin and yep, it's still here! I keep blowing and blowing but there seems to be no end in sight. What up with that? As much as anything, it is affecting my energy/stamina and I am ready for that to stop. I swam Wednesday, ran easy Thursday, swam Friday (1 mile) and ran about 5 or 6 today...it's kind of hard to run when you can't breathe. I had some momentum building in my workouts and I don't want to lose it..... I am planning an easy exploratory run with Hannah tomorrow AM (we will check out Edwin Warner Park, I think) and then a ride tomorrow afternoon out on the Trace. My first tri is Mach-Tenn on June 5th and I want to be feeling strong and confident by then!!

I have read some race reports and blogs about the Rev3 Tri in Knoxville last weekend...I'm quite interested in the Costa Rica tri they will be hosting in February, 2011. I get a little intimidated about transporting my bike for races but I might just tough this one out... I've ALWAYS wanted to go to Costa Rica and February is a perfect time to get the hell out of Nashville. I have read a lot about timing problems in Knoxville but all of that seems to have been resolved by now....for the steep price ($250) plus travel related expenses you really want to have an almost perfect experience!

After watching Audrey last weekend at the Gulf Coast Tri I have to admit to a little terror at the thought that I have signed myself up for that type of torture come September. I just kept thinking,"Damn! That looks ....hard...exhausting...long......hard...hot!" I am trusting that when the time comes my training will have me prepared....I have been running and training long enough and I have seen it work like that each time. Training for Augusta starts in earnest the end of this month and I am mentally ready to hit it and be consistent...I am looking forward to training with my friends this summer..Nashville will be well represented in Augusta on September 26!! I just have to kick this stupid headcold..aggh!!

I am heading back to West Palm next week for Breana's graduation..she will be heading to the Savannah College of Art and Design in the fall. She is muy talented and I am super excited for her and a proud aunty!!
