Well, I thought the congestion and cough were going away but this morning I woke up very congested. Worse than I have been. Ran the 10 mile run with Sasha easy, just under 7:30 pace overall with 6x100m strides during run. Body and legs felt very sluggish and tired this morning. Most of the run the legs were asleep and I felt awkward running. However, at about mile 9 I started to feel a little bouncy. Suddenly the body woke up and the legs and back felt springy. I'm not sure why but we ran the last 1/4 mile in 1:32 and it felt very easy, I had to hold myslef back from going any faster. Strange morning for me. Overall this week has not been a good week for me compared to last week. I have had a few aches and pains that have popped up the last couple days. Hopefully they all go away soon. The biggest plus was the weather, 39'F. For the first time in 54 days it was above freezing for our run in the morning. Looking back it has only been above freezing for our morning run 7 of the last 91 days! |
