Yet another treadmill run.  For a change, I worked a little bit harder.  1 mile warm up, then 1 @ 7mph, then 2 @ 8mph, then 1 @ 7 mph.  It's kind of startling to make year to year comparisons...

I'm tired of being sick all winter.  The last few years I felt like superman.  I got maybe one cold that effected me for a grand total of 3-5 days.  This year, I've snagged every single thing the kids brought home; colds, GI problems, pukes, etc.   I guess my luck ran out, or, was all the extra running in years past giving me a souped-up immune system?

I didn't realize the sweetheart 5k was this Saturday.  I think I'll pass, especially if the AQ doesn't improve.  If it does snow, I'll have work to do anyway...making a few hundred bucks will be more gratifying than finding out how bad my 5k conditioning is.

Interesting thought about the correlation between being sick and boosted immune system from running. I think there is a boost, but where is the sweet spot? Too much running = exhaustion = sickness, but too little running = no boost? Hmm...
