Ok, probably over did it today. Ran 4 miles today or 2 x 2 miles to be more accurate. I wanted to pace one of the cadets I have been training and we were doing 2 x 2 mile as part of doing a double Army PT Test. So we did 2 minutes of push-ups then 2 minutes of sit-ups followed by a 2 mile run and then repeated. I did 85 push-ups and 100 sit-ups in the 2 minutes then paced the first 2 miles in 13:36 with splits of 6:36 and 7:00. This was over a minute improvement in one month for the cadet I have been training. I then paced her again on another 2 mile run after about a 15 minute break and 2 more minutes of push-ups and sit-ups. She was able to run 14:13 with splits of 7:12 and 7:01 on the second run and this was still faster than she had run for her best 2 mile just about a month ago. By the end of the 4th mile my knee was not feeling great. It has bugged me a little more than normal all day today as a result. I will just have to make sure I take it easy the next coupe days. Maybe not the smartest thing to do today but I really enjoyed it and was glad I could help pace someone today.

Very easy but somewhat painful two miles. The knee and left leg was very tired after yesterday. Made it through two miles in about 8:00 average pace and the 2nd mile felt a little better than the first at least.

1.6 miles easy on BYU indoor track. Was running short on time so cut it a tad short of 2 today. Knee was still a bit more painful than normal from Monday. The bad news is after lunch today I started to come down with some sort of bug and now I am pretty miserable. We will see how the rest of the night goes and how things go in the morning.

Throat is swollen and I feel like crud today. I only ran 1.4 miles as it felt terrible as my throat made it very hard to breath. Knee hurt but was better than yesterday. Did a lot of push-ups and such as well. Today is not going to be a fun day at work the way I feel right now.
