I thought I would be too tired to run more than easy today.  But after I pushed up the hill for the first 1.5 miles, I figured I would see just how much I had in me. The hardest part of the hill was after the Flying J going up Brigham Rd.  My slowest pace was a 9:10.  Mile 5 and 6 were the 2 miles I pushed the hardest.  It still seemed like I didn't run hard.  Mile 7 was recovery and then I pushed the 8th mile.  The 8th mile had a slight uphill to it so I was unable to really push it like the others.  I ran easy the last half mile.

Mile Splits: 8:27 (uphill), 8:16 (big Uphill/downhill), 7:52 (down), 8:03 (down), 7:27 (rolling Bloomington hills), 7:06 (flat trail), 8:14 (recovery), 7:38 (slight uphill), & last 0.5 mile (recovery) at 8:36 pace.

Swam 0.7 mile (50 lengths) in pool.  I was too tired to do a mile.

Thanks... I hope you feel better soon. Sometimes with a lot of training my body wears down and I catch these little colds. They are more of a nuisance... Get some rest!! I have been making it my new goal this year to try for 7+ hours of sleep per night. I am good about 5 out of 7 days a week.
