I went on a 25 minute run this morning.  Aside from a 1 hour Z1 ride on Sunday, this is the first exercise I've had in 10 days.  I took it easy, and felt ok during the run, though I think the meds I'm on pushed my heart rate up a little.  When I finished, though, I had a big coughing attack that wasn't any fun.  

The doctor says the problem is a combination of allergies and a sinus infection.  I'm still planning on doing my race May 5, but may have to, um, reevaluate my performance goals. 

Hey Matt I went through a smaller fit of what you did. Take it easy. The meds most likely will elevate your heart rate especially if it is an antihistamine type product. BTW What race are you doing?

I've found that antihistamines elevate by about 10 bpm. 

I know it sucks, but you need to be kind to yourself and ease back into things.  I always find that the best goals for early season races are to put forth your best effort possible rather than to have specific time goals.

Anyone else up for a Marathon next April? Although I won't be able to qualify, I am going to do what I can to hook up with a charity.

Should Boston be a mentor group target race?

If you can make SE a charity group, I'd love to run it with everyone! But I won't qualify.

Going the charity route is my plan.  I'm not going to be able to run a qualifying marathon before the race sells out, so I'm going to pick up a charity slot.  I figure I'll run my BQ time at Boston.

I don't even know how to get a charity spot. You will have to point is in the right direction.

Could we find a charity for all of us to join?

Preferably one that does not require us to raise that much cash. I suck at that.

There is a thread in the Texas forum looking for a HIM with a more lenient swim than 70 minutes from the last wave start.

Kelly mentioned a charity and sent me a link. I will post it later. But it would be great if we could all do it together.

kidtri33 - 2013-04-16 10:30 AM Me and my wife were talking about how the kids were waiting for me at the MCM last year. The biggest worry she had was them getting lost or kidnapped. Now this...God Bless all of us...

 

I am doing MCM this year. I am rethinking having any family there at all.

I'm looking at a couple of options and will make some calls tomorrow.  I'll let you know what I find out.

uhcoog - 2013-04-16 10:23 AM I'm still having issues wrapping my head around what happened yesterday.

I think this is everyone's issue.  There is not answer to real question -- why, which may never be answered or never be answered in a satisfactory way. 

Unfortunately there are people in this world who are sick and selfish and hateful.  These people are the tiny minority but sometimes their actions can speak quite loudly.  Some things are unexplanable.  All we can do is be the best people we can possibly be and let those individuals know that they're not going to win.

Preach on Sister!!

Well said Kelly.

So upset about this

Hey guys.  Rough day for me yesterday.  I was about a block from the finish line when the explosions went off in Boston and spent the next two hours trying to account for all of my runners (I was the Hartford Track Club bus mom).  We had two runners literally cross at the time of the explosion.  We didn't find our last runner until about 4:30 p.m. and then we had to walk out of Boston to find out bus.  When we got back to CT there were several TV crews waiting for us.  Really overwhelming stuff. 

Oh Kelly! didn't know you were up there! I hope you are hanging in there mentally. Sending you good vibes

3900 in the pool this morning.  Super exhausting swim.  It's gratifying to know you gave swim session 100% (and to leave the pool feeling a little like Gumby).  Short recovery run later this morning.  My day is crazy once the afternoon hits.  Dreading it all because I'm already tired.  4 kids = busy, busy, busy

Why did I sign up for an IM when I'm caring for 4 young children (ages 3, 4, 6, 8)? I'm tired and hungry and have a lot more to do today.
