Another taper week. I wish I could say I am super excited about this weekend but I am not. The usual pre-race jitters have been replaced with lethargy. I have had a pretty bad week with regards to sleeping. My wonderful little toddler has been refusing to sleep at night which means I am getting 6 or less hours a sleep. I am one of those weird people that needs 8 or more, so this is a big jolt to my system. Dependent on my run routine for the day, I have been getting up at 4:45 or 5 am to get my run in before my hubby has to get up and get ready for work. Anyway, I thought yesterday that the feelings I had were just from lack of sleep. I was contemplating asking my hubby for a night where I could just go sleep in the guest room at around 9 pm or even earlier. When I got home, I was achy and getting the chills. A quick taking of the temperature revealed 101.2. That was with the digital so I didn't believe it and took it with our older regular thermometer. 101.2. NOOOOOOOOOOO! I immediately went to bed and promptly slept 12 hours. I got up with a fever but have been fever free since around 7 am this morning. I now just feel weak and depleted. I could run like this but it wouldn't be fun. Am downing zicam and drinking fluid and praying. I really, really don't want to miss this race!!!!
