Somewhat better. Congestion is breaking up a good bit. Lots of sleeping. Pretty miserable.

Sickness mostly gone, but slightly lingering. Spent almost all day in bed as I have slipped back into a depression. Marathon plans are up in the air at this point.

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.

Feeling a bit better overall. Tried making revised racing plans while I ran. Should be able to get out on the bike this weekend.

Noon: 10.3 miles, averaged 9:16. HR 144.

Felt pretty good. I was going to run again, but ended up taking a nap and had to start dinner when I got up. HR coming down slowly. I imagine part of that is sickness dehydration. Should know by the end of the day tomorrow what the revised racing plan is.

PM: 15.2 miles, averaged 8:48. HR 150.

Nice and sunny, cool and slight wind but very nice. Felt slightly rough, but nice to get out. Ran into Megan and we did a lap together.

Evening: 23ish-Mile Ride. HR 151.

Dropping out of Glass City Marathon. New plan is fall marathon and tapping back into lost speed this summer.

Ride was enjoyable. Just went here and there. Sunny and upper 40s was perfect.
