Saturday could be dicey…

Marietta Mardi Gras 5k
This weekend I’ll be running in the inaugural Marietta Mardi Gras 5k. Here’s the course mapped out on mapmyrun.com.
I’m pretty excited about it because my kid sister, Christina, will be joining me. Although, she may be regretting her decision to run this event. The Atlanta area could be hit with a couple inches of snow on Friday. As any Atlantan knows, this pretty much shuts down the city. So, getting to the race on Saturday morning may be a bit tricky.
A couple of other things that I’m a bit worried about:
- I tweaked something in my right Achilles area on the treadmill Monday night. I’ve taken some days off to rest, but haven’t tested it out yet. I might try to do an easy run on Friday.
- I came down with some sort of head cold yesterday. Annoying, but not a game stopper. I’ll get through it.
- My main concern though is that I feel like I’m falling behind in my half marathon training. I don’t think I’m getting enough miles in during the week. Hopefully, the Achilles will feel better and I can pick up the workload next week and get back on track.
Christina and I -- Bunny ears are always cool.
