AM - 8.3 morning practice. Laps and AC w/ Austin, part with Ruth, then 2450. But by the end I could really feel my cold/flu sapping any energy I once had out of me, so I called it quits in hope of being able to make it through the day. Blister didn't bug too much, just a little rubbing on the side of the foot. (Landreth 15.55)

afternoon - 7 Hospital Run. Not a great run by any means; marked mostly by coughing and hacking up crap from my lungs. But I made it through and Ruth probably won't ever run near me again. (Stratus 353.75)

afternoon - 11.25 5x1000 on River Trail and then 4 barefoot striders. The cough medicine knocked me out pretty good last night and I wasn't able to get up and run this morning. I hoped I could get a decent workout in with this cough. It went rpetty good considering - at least a step in the right direction, considering... Ran down to the trail and did the first on the first part of the trail 1-3:28, this is where I hoped I would be able to get all of them, so I was pleased. 2-3:30 Just a little slower, but things were going okay. 3-3:31 A pretty solid one, had a little better time until the steep (but short) climb by the post office. 4-3:31 Brought it back up the trail now and was still maintaining a pretty decent pace. 5-3:37 dropped a bit more than I would have liked, a sign that I was done - so I guess it was good that I was. Ran back to school and did some barefoot work. These would have been quicker had I not been sick, but the coughing and the soreness in the muscles was holding me back a bit. But it feels pretty good to pick up the pace. (Stratus red 247.95)

evening - 4 Treadmill @ 1%. It's been a long time since I hit the treadmill. I wanted to grab a few more miles, but still allow myself to be able to have rest and recover to get feeling better, so I just went four. Started with a mile at 7:30, then 7:00, then 6:30, and finally 6:00. Maybe I need to get back on the treadmill once in a while to force myself to hit some pacing like I did toward the end?

AM - 11.3 morning practice: laps, AC, 2450, AC. Had a few heavy coughing fits and also some time where it chilled a little. Was pretty spent by the end of it. (Cumulus blue 118.65)

no run this afternoon - decided not to run w/ the kids at practice, then when I got home I just crashed.

Nothing today - I doubt for the rest of the week unless I start feeling better.

I just read this article by Frank Shorter and he said, "Finally, remember that the more consistent you are in your training, the less you must rely on a perfect training run every day." Which makes me feel a little better about having to miss a few days from being sick.

Another goose egg - even missed the track meet last night because I was so wasted.

Can't breathe = can't run
