First post-strep run.  I felt pretty weak and tired.  My pace wasn't too bad, all things considered.  I should improve over the next few days.  I'm still amazed Shalane Flanagan won a Bronze medal at the Olympics after having the flu.  I still feel a little bit like a truck hit me.  But, I'm starting to perk up.  Kudos to those who can run through illness.  I've never been able to manage it.  It may have something to do with my tendency to have low iron levels.  I get really wiped out.  

4.51 miles on the SLCC loop in horrendous smog.  My lungs were actually burning, and that wasn't from my sickness.  Plus, it was freezing!  Not my most favorite run ever, but I'm still glad that I got out there.

Sorry you have the flu! I wonder if people are getting it from the poor air quality? Good work getting out still! I am impressed.
