I keep thinking one of these days I will wake up and not have any congestion. Today wasn't that day. The cold that never ends is still with me. Either that or I just keep getting one cold after another. Quads were still a little sore today. Met at Sasha's house at 7:00am and did a 2 mile warm-up. Then did our normal 10 mile tempo run on our 2.5 mile section of the Provo River Trail. I decieded to be more conservative from the start today and try and run a more even pace the whole 10 miles. Ran 61:10 for the 10 miles with all miles between 6:00-6:12 pace. 2.5 mile splits were 15:10, 15:15, 15:25, 15:20. The quads were very fatigued and heavy the whole run but other than that I was able to hold a pretty steady pace. We then ran 4 more miles to make it 16 for the day. Average for the whole 16 was 6:35 pace. 70 miles for the week on six days of running plus a good mountain bike workout. Considering how me legs felt this week not a bad week.

Ted, you may have some low grade URI (upper respiratory infection) or bronchitis, or something else - this "cold" has been around for a few weeks already. I would check it out. No point being miserable for so long. Go to the doctor, just to see what it is.
