Like the canyon

Caught a nasty cold Tuesday of last week, put me down hard for a couple of days.  No activity really last week, just try to work a few hours, then try to rest to get over the deep, dark, nastyness that was this cold.  Gald to finally be feeling better so I dont have to here "see, you over did it in that big race and got sick",  really tired of that one.  Feel mostly recoverd, in fact felt great last week other than sicker than I have ever been in my life. 

Easy 4 miles tonight, just to kill off the last of the bug.  Back at it slow and easy the rest of the week.  

Longest 3 miles my life.  First foray onto the dreadmill for the fall/winter season.  My hell it felt like 30 miles. Proabably didn't help that I was ruinning at  6.2 miles an hour. Gotta remeber it take time to get used to the monotony.  Legs need a little ART for full recovery. 

Finally! A run that felt completely normal.  No residual cold fatigue, no Bear100 fatigue to be felt, no aches no pains. 5 miles cruise'en on the bench, kept the pace easy.

Another cruiser 4 miles on the trails.  Cold gett'en a little revenge tonight, not as past it as I thought.

Finally got out for a a solid run.  Not blazing fast, but the distance and vert was good. Took off with the mentality that I would head up Indian Trail, if I felt o.k. I would do the a full out to the canyon trail head and back.  Felt great through the first bit, legs got heavy at the top of the first climb, but felt alright. So I went all the way through the out and back.  I felt better climbing back out of the canyon, proabaly finally warmed up after a very laid back two weeks.  Still some tweaky spots in my legs and left hip.  ART tomorrow should help mellow those out.  Agravated the chest cold a bit, arrrrhhh! Go away already!
