Well, when the stomach bug hits it's stop drop and clean up the puke. Lil Man has had it bad. I mean bad. I had to take him to the ER this week because he literally couldn't keep anything in. He's missed school. I've missed work, and everything has just been put on hold. Talk about holiday stress! At one point I touched my forehead to feel something only to find out that it was dried vomit. And no, not my own. I kid you not peeps, it's been a rough week!

I was the same way when I was running 18-20 mile LR. I couldn't wait for it to get here. Now that it's here.. I'm going a little stir crazy. Good luck on your race!
DeleteTrust the taper. Your body needs it.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm telling myself :) Although I'm not fully convinced ha ha
DeleteGood luck. I'm tapering now for Philly and I know that I couldn't make it without this last stage.
ReplyDeleteYeah, my knees are bugging me pretty bad after my last 20.. so I know I need the rest. Good luck with Philly!
DeleteThe taper is where all the magic occurs! Trust! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks.. that's what I'm telling myself. I can't believe that the marathon is this Sunday!!
