What a week this last week has been. I was planning on slowing down with my training in the two weeks leading up to race day, but having a week at home (with what I found out to be Influenza Type A) and no training at all, wasn’t how I planned it. Last Sunday I did my final 20k training run, felt a bit chesty to start with but didn’t think anything of it. I kept to my 6 min/km splits as planned, but seemed a little harder than usual. I started to feel a bit sore (all over muscle ache) during the day (again didn’t think too much of it, I just ran 20k) but by nightfall, the cold shivers started and fever set in. I had Monday off work, went to the doctor Tuesday and then got the biggest shock when she gave me the rest of the week off. Anyway a week out now from race day and I just hope I can shake this thing so I can put in a half decent effort.
Our fundraising is coming along, total so far is $1632.10. Thank you to all of our supporters who have donated so far, I’m sure all of the families that utilize RMH NQ love that there are so many people willing give a bit for someone in need. We have our final fundraising effort going at the moment and that’s a monster raffle. There are all sorts of goodies up for grabs, all kindly donated by individuals and business from around Townsville.
