PM: 10.3 miles, averaged 9:04. HR 152.
Still somewhat sick but on the way out I think. Better day overall. Had to get some miles in. Felt generally okay. HR very elevated, but that was to be expected. Cool and lightly rainy, but not unpleasant. Saw the deer for the first time since last fall.
Hit the 1000-mile mark for the year. Previous PR was April 1, 2016, which was actually a terrible year for running (other than a 5k PR). If I ahdn't gotten sick I would have hit it around March 8-10 I think.
Doing some resuffling/strategizing for the spring marathon. Not sure what's going to happen. I could run a marathon in 5 weeks, but it will be disappointing I am sure. There's another race in Traverse City 4 weeks from my target race, so that's a possibility. I might just scrap the marathon and sharpen up for a shorter race.
Looking forward to getting on my bike.
