I love the fact that I've literally been training for 9 months to run the 8-mile leg of the Marathon Relay - and run it well, at a 10:00/mile pace - and a double dosage of strep / alternate throat infection / antibiotics for ten days / flu and fevers is really going to basically kill all of the preparation I'd done.

Why even bother, some days? :/

Because now you'll be ready for the next one that comes up.

There is never ANYTHING wrong with getting in shape, even if your goal doesn't pan out. I can't tell you how angry I've been getting lately at girls who refuse to work out because EW WHAT IF I GET HUGE MUSCLES?! Half the girls under the age of 25 I know say this, and it makes me want to smack them every time.

... That was sort of an off-topic tangent. Sorry.

Um, it's pretty much chemically impossible for girls to get really huge muscles without supplements >>

I am sure they haven't done their research, though, because I'm guessing these are the "want to be thin" type of girls, and muscle is one of the prime ways to help shape your body in certain ways :p

Oh, it is. Unless you're 'roiding the fuck out, there is no physical way for women to get as big as they seem to be worrying about. I've tried explaining this to one of them at least three times, and I don't think she believes me. Oh fuckin' well, eh?

I put up a Facebook link to the story of this fucking awesome granny and someone replied with, "I'm pretty sure the sight of a woman with more muscles than my father makes me want to vomit." Lady, if I'm in that kind of shape when I'm 73, you can swallow your vomit and go fuck yourself. She's not even grossly overmuscled, she's a goddamned body builder.

re: thin types: bingo.

I still think you are going to do awesome, no matter what, because you HAVE been training for so long! I think if you hadn't trained, you wouldn't do nearly as well. Your body won't just immediately lose all the work you've done because of a few bad weeks!

I believe in you~ ♥

Ugh. Setbacks like that seriously suck. I lost a lot of progress in my running when my foot was seriously screwed up.

I'm sure you'll still do okay, though. And look--now you have something to blame your time on if you aren't happy with it ;p

Oh hun. :( I'm sorry. I hope you feel better

Here's a funny story about a chick who went through with the run while sick anyway.

BUT, at least you've had time to protect your house from zombies! That is really what's important, in the end.

And I'm sure you're still in way better shape overall than say, me! So when the zombies start coming in your yard for real, you'll be better able to outrun them than me, despite the sickiness :D

(And on that note, we should possibly invest in tractor-mowers)

Anyway, I hope the strep goes away soon D: It's probably just 2010 getting in everything it can possibly dump on you before the year ends. YOU CAN'T GET STREP FROM CATS, CAN YOU? IN THAT CASE, OBVIOUSLY THE ANSWER IS STILL TO CUT OFF ALL HUMAN CONTACT AND LIVE WITH A BUNCH OF CATS.
