Beautiful hike in Shenandoah, White Oak Canyon/Cedar Run with Will - it was an 8 mile hike so I'm counting it as a 4-mile recovery run... whatever...

Was feeling really sick in the morning so I stayed home - sore throat, post-nasal dripping... later in the day I felt better - so I went for a run on the mall. Beautiful though very humid and overcast day.

Ran one mile to the metro, then one mile to the office from the metro, then 6 miles to Fletcher's boathouse at lunch. Nice not having to do an evening run, but in the mornings I've been feeling tired and sick, sore throat... 

Ran the last 2 miles at marathon pace - I read that it's good to do a few miles at marathon pace when you train so you get used to the breathing and the feeling.  Let me tell you, I didn't feel like I could hold that pace for 26.2 miles... we shall see...

Feeling sick - a weird cold, usually I get sinus congestion and lots of discharge from the nose... this time it started with a sore throat and post-nasal dripping, and it went all straight to the chest, so I'm trying to cough up phlegm but it won't come out! :(

To Fletcher's boathouse and back to the office after work. TGIF!!!

Cold getting worse... wish I could stay home and rest but had to volunteer at one of the exchanges for the Ragnar Relay ... cold and rainy, probably didn't help me get better... a bad week, with only 1 month till marathon day, I should run 20 miles tomorrow but I'm too sick - hopefully I'll feel better during the week - maybe I can take Wednesday off and do the 20 miles... Next weekend is the Army 10-miler. Another option would be to run 10 miles before the ATM, but I was hoping to get a 10-mile PR... though it's hard on a race as big as that one.... what to do, what to do... any suggestions welcome...

Writing this on Sunday, cold is worse, nose stuffed up, chest congested, sinuses hurt... coughing green stuff from my lungs... I usually get head colds so I'm not sure if it means something that it's in the chest this time... I'll probably run but not 20 miles, for sure.
