Bad Timing

After such a successful Monday it was a bit unfortunate that I've spent the rest of the week feeling unwell. I'm not sure what it is exactly just feeling drained and a bit off. This has completely scuppered my training plans and I can only hope I feel much better in the next few days or I may have to think about pulling out of the 10k which would be terrible :( Luckily I have racked up overtime at work so I am taking off most of the rest of the week to rest up and get better. Here's hoping, I would be gutted to miss it especially since Dad is doing the race too and he's worked so hard.
On a cheerier note I have now paid for my China trip and the countdown is truly on now. It's a relief to get it paid up and now I can start researching places to visit and stay without having the invoice to think about. I just hope Lynsey can get her visa now! I am going to pick up my visa tomorrow morning from the Consulate, I must remember to get the 31 from the other side of the road so I don't end up at work instead! I keep thinking I need my passport to pick it up but it's already there hopefully with a visa stuck inside. I hope I don't have to see that dreadful photo again.
Once the 10k is over I can get back to walking and training for the trek properly. Now I have the boots I need to actually wear them in and get used to them. My plan is to walk to and from work as much as possible and since Arthur's Seat is in my back garden I should attempt that too. I've never actually been up it, just round the road mostly in the car but I did run round it once during the Race for Life last year.
Hope I'm back with a more upbeat update soon :)
