I will NOT panic

I will not panic. I will not panic. I have to run 13.1 miles in 9 days. I am still fighting this stomach/intestinal flu. Megan woke up in the middle of the night with it. I haven’t run since Saturday. I will admit I am getting nervous. I was planning on attempting an 11 mile run on Sunday morning. Chris doesn’t think that is wise even if I am feeling well enough. So the plan now is to run a “light” 5 miles early Sunday morning if my body has fought off this flu. I don’t want all of this training to be for nothing. I was really starting to look forward to the race. :::sigh:::
I am praying that if Chris is going to get this dumb, he gets it soon. It is hanging on and I would hate for all of us training to be thrown out the window too. We have been using a lot of Lysol and hand sanitizer.
Obviously this is why the new recipe & food reviews haven’t been posted. The thought of food right now isn’t too appealing.
Off to visualize me running an awesome race in perfect weather. A girl can hope.

Yeah, probably not a good idea to bounce your tender tummy all around! Hopefully just you and Megs will get it and be done!!

Prayer overpowers panic anyway!
I am praying for you Kristen. I really do see you finishing the mini. If you can do 9 miles on a regular old day, not even in the morning when you’re the freshest, you can definitely finish the whole mini when you’ve got adrenaline, motivation, determination, anticipation, hard work, family & friends’ support, and prayer all working in your favor. Glad the sickness was this week instead of next week! You CAN do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Relax. Enjoy your accomplishments thus far and enjoy the experience. You will be fine.
