| Oops. I guess I am still learning my limits. The rest of yesterday went fine. I mostly had to work. But by evening I was wiped out. Then Sunday morning I woke up even more congested so I took a nap. Unfortunately I missed out on sledding with the girls and was too out of it to get any work done but I hope the rest will take care of it. |

| Not sure if it was the nap or the cold but had a hard time getting to sleep. Did a slightly modified commute run in but that is all I could afford. Feeling better than yesterday but definitely off. Let's see how the rest of the week goes... |

| Slept in. No run. Want to completely kick this thing before I start running again. No major race on the calendar so no need to push it. |

| PM: Had to work this morning. Than an early afternoon run. I think I'm 90% over my cold. Still a little coughing but I haven't had medicine since Wed. I did the far south extension of the suicide loop. Then when I got home the girls were waiting on the porch with their running stuff on so we went for a 1 mi run. I was surprised but my 3 yr old went the whole distance! It was a perfect day for running. Afterwords we went to support our friend at Foothill Fitness. They had an open house today. A bit nervous about the Walmart opening up right behind them...
