Still sick. But I went out and ran anyway. Probably will again tomorrow. It seems when I get sick it is fun to take a few days off, but then I get sick of it and just try to pretend I'm well again. it doesn't work, but that's what I do. I dont' think Saturday's race did me any favors.

I took it slow and easy this morning and had a nice run in the dark with cool weather.

First time running with Randy in over a week. Pretty slow by his standards, but I was still feeling it in my lungs. Usually I take an extra trip around the block to get my mileage up to an even seven. Today I got to my street and called it quits.

Feeling a bit better today. I didn't feel like I was going to cough up a lung this time. Kept the pace slow and easy. Gotta ease my way back into it. Probably won't push it until next week.

This morning's run was a comedy of errors. I started out by crossing Ustick too close to an oncoming car. Randy held up but I took off and had to sprint across the street to avoid dying. Then a mile later we got lost. Somehow we turned when we should have gone straight. And in the dark it is easy to get turned around. Randy looked at his GPS and we were going South. I could have sworn we were going West -- and we were trying to go North.

Finally, after a little more confusion in an attempted short cut, a big dog scared the crap out of me. A car was stopped at a light and we ran past. The big dog in the back seat started barking and tried to climb out the window. I thought I was going to lose an ear.

But I made it home and lived to run another day.

Finally feeling good again. I went out to run a few miles just to get my weekly mileage over 30 for no particular reason. Felt really good and was able to increase the pace with each mile, getting 7:46 in my last mile. Feels good to feel good again.
