running for my mind

Took a scheduled rest day today. Not feeling so healthy right now. On Friday and Saturday I woke up in the middle of the nights having sweated through the sheets. I am either hot or I am really cold during the day. I hope that taking it easy today makes me feel good enough to run in the morning and I can have another good week. 

 Overall, I feel really good about this week of running. I hit all of my goals. I wanted to run 45 total miles, do 800s, and get a 4 mile tempo run in. I am stoked that I did all of this!

Goals for this coming week (if healthy) - Maintain at 45 miles - 1 mile repeats - another 4 mile tempo. 

6 easy on the treadmill.

Wow! So almost a week went by without running. I was crazy sick with some odd virus that I couldn't kick. I am glad for modern medicine that finally got rid of it.

It was good to get back moving again. Chose the treadmill so I could bail and just come upstairs to bed if I needed to. I felt pretty good, but could tell I was still weak. Will be interesting to see how I feel on tomorrow's long(er) run. I am not stoked that I lost 4 days of training, but I have been feeling lousy since the first of December and was in a really bad way at the beginning of this week. I don't think the time off will really have any negative effects on my training because I have a decent amount of time left before my race. At least that is what I hope.

12 easy - Fun run in bear lake. Was more frosted than I have ever been by the end. Felt good overall and held a decent pace. Felt good for just coming off of the sickness. This run helped build my confidence. Going to try and post a pic below. Hopefully it works.
