Easy run and put in some 6 minute pace.  I can hold 3 minutes and am just gasping.  But I can do it!  Did 5 repeats of that

Easy run at home with the stroller and kids.  Decision time tonight.  I have an entry into the Lost Dutchman marathon Sunday and promised the kids a weekend trip to Phoenix.  I had three pretty incredible weeks of training and then got laid out five days with the flu.  Right now it seems that the running is coming back and I can hold marathon pace for 3 minute sections.

I think I'll run the marathon as a kick start back into training at an easy pace and have a good time.  All else fails, I can walk it.  I gotta get back into it somehow.  Other than the flu, I am hitting spring training without a single small injury.
