went to dr woodmansee.  he ordered me to take warm steamy showers and gave me a z pack if needed.  He said it would help the best to get out the stuff caught in my throat.  Take abx if doesn't get better that way.  Besides several cough attacks talking on the phone on way back from drs office (Coleen) I started to cough less and less and sounded less productive so I decided to sweat it out at the gym then take a steamy shower.  No planned speedwork maybe saturday.  I did go faster than easy.  

I ran 2 mile increments so rested two minutes after every two miles

2 miles started at 6.5/6.6/6.7/6.8/6.9 all for 0.4 miles each last 0.25 miles to the next two miles paces.

2 miles 7/7.1/7.2/7.3/7.4  all for 0.4 miles each and last 0.25 miles at next 2 mile paces incrementally. 

2 miles at 7.5/7.6/7.7/7.8/7.9  all for 0.4 miles each and last 0.25 miles at next 2 mile paces.

well I decided to 8-8.4 mph was too much for my recovering from this crud so I only did 8.0 x 0.4 and 8.1 mph for 0.1 miles.  stopped at 1/2 mile

then ran cool down at 8:27 pace for 0.75 miles and 8:20 pace for another quarter mile then 8:13 and ended at 7:41 for 0.1 miles. 

8 miles avg 8:24.8.
