A clydesdale no more!

I helped my ex move yesterday so I was feeling pretty beat up this morning.  It sure does make me appreciate my office job. 

Of course it was snowing again today.  At one point it was snowing as hard as it has this year.  My plan was to run 6 easy miles then pick up the dog that I am dog sitting and run a couple more miles.  She is now to the point were she doesn't want to run with me anymore.  She stopped and her collar came off and she took off.  I panicked since she was running off without any identification.  Fortunately she stopped for a potty break and I was able to catch her.  Took her back home and went out to get 7 for the day.  

I'm re-doing week 4 of the push up challenge because I wasn't happy with how it went last week.

My girls have been sick for a couple of days and I woke up with a sore throat this morning.  I must be getting what they had.  Drove out to the Birnam Woods trail head of the LPT and headed north.  Ran 4 miles out then headed back (confirmed that the distance between the 10 and 10.5 mile markers is 0.7 miles).  The snow started falling at the turnaround point and it was snowing the rest of the way back.  I started to feel pretty run down on the way back.  Hopefully I can hold the sickness at bay.

I was too sick and it was too cold outside so I bagged the run this morning.  I am such a slacker.  With everybody gearing up for Boston I am starting to get the itch again.  Right now, I am leaning towards Boston 2010 being my comeback marathon.  With that said, I really need to get myself back into shape.

Still not feeling well and I could only muster up enough energy to get in 5 miles.  Just took it easy and kept the pace slow.  It was raining but it actually felt good for some reason.  

Another snowy morning.  This is starting to get old.  Met the running club at the LPT.  I was going to get a few miles in before the club run but I could tell that my body wouldn't hold up.  I ran 8 miles and I could feel the effects of being sick this week during the last 2 miles.  I'm off to St. George for a few days to get away from this snow.  The storm better not follow me.
