Running With Pepper

Doggie has been sick and so have I. I've had a sinus infection which has really screwed me up over the past week and it's limited my running. Took Pepper out for a nice 2.5 and took it nice and easy with plenty of walking included.

Ran on the Custis Trail for a nice Tempo run after lunch for 5 miles...up and down the rolling hills. Finished the run in 36:22 and my pulse was consistently around 140-150 during the whole run. My sinus infection is doing better since I'm in day 3 of my antibiotics but the drainage is still there and it's screwing up my breathing. I aim to improve on this as the weeks get closer to the marathon, which is only 2 months away! :)

Did another 3.5 with Pepper tonight with the usual run/walk pace he likes. The weather here is beautiful, other than the rain we've had all day. Temps have been in the low 70's and taking Pepper out is great. Also hit the gym again tonight and did some hard work on my legs to keep strengthening them in other ways. Hit up the shoulders and then the abs at the end of the gym to round out the day. Sinuses are doing much better and I think I'll take a nice run tomorrow during work.
