Fire roads -53:12

Was at the cabin for a bit today, and ran from the Banks-Lowman highway up the forest service road that goes up Garden Mountain. The first 2 miles were way too steep for me (gained 1100 feet in all) and I had to walk a couple of times. It leveled out so the middle 2 miles were nice, but the last bit was too steep for good downhill running. Humbling, but a great afternoon to be out there.

San Diego River bike path - 39:44

Super slow 7 a.m. run from the hotel. First mile of 8:55 was about as fast as I could go. Hamstring, achilles and back were all feeling crappy. Got the last 2 miles sub-8:00, so that was good, I guess.

Run to Terrace Lakes - 31+

9:30 a.m. run and I felt absolutely awful. Feel like I'm getting sick, and the hamstring is really tight and sore too. Could use some sleep.

Treadmill at Axiom - 28:05

Slow pace - hamstring was pretty sore to start with. Slowly worked down to about 8:00/mile by the end.

Woke up pretty sick - but took 2 naps today and I think I've fought it off.

Standard 30 minute run during swimming lessons. Did a few pickups on the way back but it really irritated the hamstring so I had to jog it in.

Pretty slow run on the ice and snow. Hadn't run in a week - sinus infection, hamstring sore and other issues. Hope to get back to the swing of things.
