Monday, December 24- Sunday December 30, 2012: A few setbacks this week. Or to reframe it I'll say I got a little more rest this week than anticipated due to getting the flu on Christmas Eve. Being sick allowed me to somewhat taper for the Last Chance Marathon (Monday Jan 31), but geez I feel like I've been tapering for 2 (3?) weeks now. This has given me the chance to continue to cycle indoors with the trainer and do some strength stuff- kettlebell, core work, squats. I'm also still (now since November) dealing with pain under my big toe that doesn't seem to be getting better with rest. I'm not sure I have been resting exactly, but definitely toned down since TNF (Dec. 1).
