Mad Dog ... missed!

Today is day 24 of my injury induced rest and also the day of the Mad Dog 10K race! This is one race I have been really looking forward to for a long time. I still can't actually believe I can't run it - I will be glad when today is over! Another DNS recorded against my name.   Not only do I have a dodgy ankle I also have a cold, cough and sore throat.  I feel like I have lost the fit and healthy me and have been replaced by a wreck of a body! 

I want the real me back!  

Instead, I am feeling sad, depressed, dejected, tired and lonely ... nothing seems to be going right in my life!  

I firmly believe I have only got this horrid cold because I am sitting around wallowing in germs, when I'm active and running I never seem to catch things even when everyone else does! I must usually be able to outrun them!

2 races missed so far, how many more?!
