Road to 50k Week 6 - Everything Breaks Sometimes

We're 6 weeks in baby. I was hoping for this to be a great week and life just decided otherwise, as life sometimes tends to do. Monday, I was set to run 18 miles and after waking up feeling under the weather, I chose to instead not do my Long Run 18 Miles on Monday. Tuesday came around and I still was in pain unable to get around. On Wednesday, I decided to skip November Project and instead to break up my run over Wednesday & Thursday to ensure I get my miles in.
I woke up on Wednesday & ran 9.5miles before going into work. Halfway into my shift I knew I had made a mistake. I was still not well. Come to find out I was overheating and really dehydrated. I was experiencing nausea, vomiting and unable to keep down food. I mean on Monday all I had to eat was a cup of oatmeal that I had to break down over 3 meals because I couldn't keep my food down.
On Thursday I was sent home from work 4 hours into my shift & was asked to only work half of my shift on Friday. I hated not being able to push myself but I just didn't have the strength at all. I was falling asleep at work, weak and dizzy walking downstairs. Again, shit happens. I don't intend to have this happen again.
Saturday, I finally began to feel better and I ran the Balboa Park 8 Miler and led a group on my fellow NP Tribe from San Diego, DC and Denver in a bounce using the music of Cardi B... "These expensive. These is broken in. These is running shoes."
Starting with Brogan, Goldie, Lauren, Angelo from NPSD and Rachel from NP Denver for probably 4 seconds before they broke free and went fast as fuck, while I just worked to just finish and prove I was ok after the previous week of not being able to do anything.

To wrap up my Saturday, I did dinner with some of my best friends. As I was in Oakland last week during my best friend Tim's birthday, I made us Lobster Mac n Cheese with Habanero Cheddar & Jalapeno Creamy Gouda for Tim, Jess, Nathan and Alex. Some of my favourite people around celebrating one of my favourite person's birthday with games and dinner and best of times. I swear Secret Hitler is my favourite game ever.

Next week, I'm back at 100%. I have a lot to prove with this 50k and I'm not one to be satisfied NOT doing what I set out to do.
