Yesterday was my first team training. We all gathered at Grenada Park at 7:30 in the morning. All week I've been fighting a cold and wasn't sure how much actual running I was going to be able to do. But I knew I didn't want to miss the first training.
I let the coach and the captains know that I wasn't feeling well, and they all told me to listen to my body and do as much as I can but not to kill myself. Coach Bobby had us do a warm up jog and I was doing okay for about 2 minutes. During the lap, I was talking with one of the captains and I lost steam about half way through. I slowed to a walk and walked the rest of the way in. Fortunately my ego did not get involved and I didn't feel that I needed to prove myself by overdoing it on my first practice, this is a marathon I'm traing for after all. For me it's about crossing the finishing line and raising money to help find a cure, not about how fast I go.
