What kind of runner doesn't run for nearly 3 weeks? A sick one.
Man, I have just been feeling doooooown this month. I was sick one week, started to get better. Then I went for a hike with friends and my symptoms became exponentially worse.
I know I could still run through sickness, and I have before, but my body's been really achey through all of this. I want to recover as soon as possible; I've got a deadline looming.
See, I'm participating in the Oxfam Trailwalker 100km Challenge in May. This is a challenge for teams of four to complete a mountainous 100km hike in less than 48 hours. We also have a fundraising goal, dedicated to hauling in at least $300 each. (Little help?...) You can read more about the event, and where the money's going here: http://trailwalker.jp/en
100km comes out to 62.1 miles. That's longer than two full marathons, all on very, very hilly terrain. I'm stoked, just as long as my flu symptoms go away.
