With the run of bad luck I seem to have had it's no wonder I am starting to get nervous for the 10k race in just over a week. This weekend I had a dream that it took me 47 minutes to finish a 5k race because children kept giving me heavy school bags to carry for them. Clearly a manifestation of the anxiety about whether I will be able to perform.
I decided I was feeling well enough to go run a 5k this morning. It went well in the sense that compared to the struggles I have been having, this time I ran continuously. I really wish my time was better than the disappointing 34:42.
The most disturbing part of the whole thing was that once I got home I started to pee blood again. I'm going to see my doctor tomorrow who has assured me that the running did not cause further damage. This is good because it's the 2nd annual Energizer Night race on Saturday and since I firmly believe that all participants signed up to help me celebrate my birthday, I mustn't disappoint them by sitting this one out.
Hopefully with some new antibiotics tomorrow I'll be able to kick this damn kidney infection and do some last minute cramming to get ready for the 10k next weekend with Valerie.
