5 miles on treadmill at 9:30 pm. This was my first run since Saturday's long run. When I woke up Saturday I had a tiny sore throat, nothing that was going to slow me down. Sunday when I woke up I thought "I am glad I don't have to run today". Monday I woke up and thought my throat kills, I will run tonight when the pain goes away. Around noon I decided I should take the day off and let my body recover from the sickness. Tuesday the pain was just as bad, and Wednesday my sore throat bug was still there, but not so bad, but it got replaced by the lazy bug. So after going 98 days in a row (not counting Sundays) of either running, biking, or swimming, I missed 3 in a row. But I am back now. I didn't time myself on tonight's run, but I think the pace was about 7:41 over the 5 miles. Now I am tempted to do 2 long runs in a row to rack up some miles, but I should probably just have a low mileage week, and get healthy again. I guess I will see what I decide to do. Oh, and taking Nyquil (spelling) gives some pretty cool dreams! Oh, my wife is the best!
