Sunday afternoon run in the windy cold.  My daughter came along on her bike, thank goodness.  I've been spoiled doing all my long runs with Andy, Tara and larger groups.  I really struggled, courtesy of Saturday's 10k, and nearly quit after 12, but gutted out another three that should have been six.  

So I'm long run deficient.  I gotta get some 20+ runs soon.

At 8 p.m., my wife found me in the closet staring at my training plan.  Then she talked me out of going for a 7 miler.  I designed built-in cabinets and played with Jack instead.  I'm still recovering from Sunday's long run.  So there it is; my first dropped workout.

I started feeling a tickle in my throat last night.  It was worse in the morning, so I took homeopathic remedies all day;  peanut M&M's and Mtn. Dew.  Strangely, I noted no improvement in my symptoms.  After my regular job, some  snow customers called, so I spent an hour+ on core and upper body, and actually earned some $$$ for the day.  

As for the run,  8 miles, peak pace was 8.2 mph, 62 minutes, felt pretty good.  A lot of these "easy" miles I'm doing are at last year's marathon pace, so that's encouraging.  Finally, a decent episode of Biggest Loser.  18 days off the ranch seemed to help the contestants and producers find their humanity.

7 more, 61 minutes.  Very slow.  This cold is getting to me, plus a trip to the dentist.  Snow to shovel tomorrow...I hope the truck will start.

56 minutes, so a fair amount better than last night.  This cold is hanging on pretty well.  I thought I'd luck out and nip it early, but two consecutive mornings of driveways coupled with a bad sleeping baby has got me somewhat run-down.  I don't think a rugged 20 miler Saturday morning is such a great idea.  I guess it'll hold until next week;  I can add on after the striders 10 miler.

62 minutes.  Still sick, but my back and knee started to hurt, so I had to run to fix them.  No 20 miler this week, but I should be back on top of things to hit these last 4-5 weeks of training pretty hard.
