Because my leg had been bothering me so much I decided to take a week off. I knew it would be risky because the marathon is so close. Any loss of fitness would be detrimental.
Well the running gods dealt me another blow as on Wednesday I came down with a sinus infection. Just as my leg was feeling better I had to take another couple of days off to recover from sickness.
So after 1.5 weeks of absolutely no training I headed out for a run today. I only made it 2 miles before having to stop. My leg was killing me. My marathon hopes are looking bleak.
