Overdue for blogging.

I guess my resolution to blog three times a week didn't last long. Things just seem to get so busy there is no time to sit and write. Plus, I think I am realizing my life just isn't that exciting. Anyhoo, my training had been going pretty well until Thursday. It started on Wednesday night with a little tickle in the back of my throat while I was drinking my St. Patrick's day beer. Thursday I started having a headache and sore throat. By Friday I was absolutely sure I had strep throat. I woke up at 4:30 Friday morning and couldn't even swallow. By 11:30 on was on my way to urgent care. By the time I left, my fever was 101 and I was aching all over. The rapid strep came back negative, but the doctor was convinced it was strep as well and gave me antibiotics. Needless to say today was the first day I worked out since Wednesday. I did lift weights today and ran 3 miles, but I thought I was going to pass out. I will try to step it up this week and get back on track. I officially signed up for my sprint triathlon on May 17. It starts at 6:30 in the morning. I am excited. It will be nice to get an idea of how I will do. Initially I thought it would be great to just finish. For those of you that know me a little better, my competitive nature can not stand for that. I want to at least be in the top 10%. We will see. I will be back on the training path again this week and try to get back into blogging. I have a lot of sewing to do the next couple of weeks as well. I will try to post pictures of my newest creations!
