Ran a little different route this morning because I wanted to cover the stretch that Lloyd and I ran yesterday to see how far it was. It was almost exactly what I estimated. Had a nice, challenging uphill run along the golf course (with a stiff headwind) and then amazingly had a headwind when I turned south to run up the big hill on Canyon Road. Near the top, the wind changed direction and gave me a little push. I ran hard on the downhill section all the way back to my house. Next time I may extend the downhill section by turning south on 40th instead of going straight. I was happy to find that I didn't have any sore throat this morning or any sickness to speak of. Laureen and my youngest daughter were both feeling sickly all day yesterday. 

 We're still trying to decide what to do about the Cedar Hills 5K on Saturday. Amelia really wants to do it, but as she's not been feeling well (and hasn't really trained), we'll have to make that decision later in the week. If none of the family can run it, I'll probably just go for a longer run that morning.

You run so fast you almost always have a head wind.
