LM warmup (10 reps), 4 miles in 30:33, 7:38/mi, HR 153, 2.5 mile walk w/ dogs, PU/Crunches Ladder (6 steps), & stretching. Back to being sick. After the race yesterday, the head draining started in the afternoon and got steadily worse overnight. Figured the nice easy 6 mile run on the schedule would be okay to help clear out the head, but by mile 2, I realized my HR was way too high for the pace and the effort was climbing, so I cut things short at 4 miles. No aches or pains again (yet?) but somehow I doubt a long run tomorrow is a good idea. About the only good news is that this probably did affect my 5K race yesterday....the 18:30-ish time I got wasn't exactly what I'd hoped for, and after a strong first mile, things got really difficult. I don't think the results really reflect my fitness that well. Oh, and my right knee is bugging me a bit. Have had some off/on mild pain the last few days, that seems to have subsided for now. Hope it goes away with this cold or whatever it is.
