I hit the Wall last week in the training. It wasn’t a nutritional element or an actual running element. In fact, I ran the most kilometers and the best runs in this training.

It was the wall that life threw me. Setbacks across the board but what did me in was bed bugs.

I live in the city in an older building and while, there’s all sorts of fun creatures lurking around these places. I had an infestation earlier this year and it cost me my couch. I thought they were gone but oh no, they were still around.

And has looked like this for the past week.  My apartment has to stay in a state of lockup until the second treatment later this week.

Nevertheless, the training continued. Getting close to the 30 day mark towards the maratón. Amazing.
