| Ran for 15 minutes, then walked 5, ran 5, walked 5, ran 5, then went to yoga. I didn't have to rest at all during yoga, which is progress. Running felt good. This mini run did a lot to salvage my mojo.

| Roller skate skiing out the Northshore Road for one hour. I am still a bit on the fence about whether or not I can compete in this weekend's Ski to Sea Relay race. Funny, but on our team of eight people, two are sick, and one is trapped due to Iclandic ash. Poor team captain, he has back up plans for everything, and he won't know until the last minute. I had my blood drawn this morning, so having "clean" blood will be one deciding factor for me. I should know by Thursday whether or not I'll be skiing in the race.

| Yoga this morning, minimal amount of work accomplished, then off to the mountain to practice skate ski for Sunday's relay. We still have 30 feet of snow on the mountain, and it was snowing today! I don't believe that it will ever be summer this year. This is about a 10K course, very very challenging. I have raced this leg before, so I know that is challenging. Tons of big hills. I figured that, even though I have lost much fitness in the past few weeks, and also many muscles, I could gut this one out on determination and technical skill. My lungs just could not handle the effort, and I didn't ski today at race effort. Lungs were hurting, and the hour I spent skiing ended with a huge coughing fit, that lasted until I got into the sauna. I am canceling my participation in Ski to Sea this year, just doesn't seem like a good idea. A sad day, but I'd rather give this one up and be able to do some other things that I'd like to do in the next few months. That's how it works, right? I trade this one for other things? I hope so.
