The best laid plans part two...

The night of my first training day our youngest got sick with a fever.  So, Tuesday would have been day 2 of 4 for the week, but with her home sick (and no one to watch her) and a super busy after school schedule with our other two kids I figured it can be a rest day.  Which my joints probably needed it more than I wanted to admit.

Wednesdays I play tennis for an hour, so that was counting towards training.  Thursday, Saturday, Sunday would be my other training days.  Still a plan.  Need to run 3-4 times per week to stay on target.

By Tuesday night I knew she wasn't going back to school as she still had a high fever.  So, now tennis was out for training on Wednesday.  Shift the plan.  I figured I could get a run in as soon as my oldest got home from school.  I would swap one of the weekend days for a run Wednesday.  Back on track (no pun intended).

It never happened.  I got a fever Wednesday afternoon which turned out to be strep.  I was out the whole next week recovering and my elaborate spreadsheet with run days & dates scheduled through November was all off kilter.  Much like me.
