Kerry's Running Blog

Lungs still filled with gunk, but definitely improving. I slept better last night even though I was wheezing a bit after laying down. You can't help but feel energized with the warming temperatures and more light.

My lungs felt a lot better this morning and as long as I kept a reasonable pace, I felt good. My legs and joints felt a little rusty after a week off, but they were OK by the end of the workout. I'm having to start off fairly slow, but I can manage a pretty good pace by the end.

Feeling a little better every day and running a little faster. The PF in my right foot didn't bother me during the run yesterday or today, but my foot was pretty sore at time during the day. What I probably need to do is bring my roller massager to work and let it massage the bottom of my foot while I'm just sitting around.

It was certainly convenient to hit the treadmill this morning with yesterday's storm still lingering. I was a little sluggish starting off, but managed to crank it up to a reasonable pace after the first mile. I'm still not all the way there yet as I still have some fluid in my lungs.

I hope everybody survived the storm OK. My wind gauge showed a peak gust of 63 mph. Although I didn't have any trouble getting home last night, it took my daughter three hours to get from Midvale to Cedar Hills. Point of the Mountain was just a parking lot and SR92 was closed due to whiteout conditions. Our local schools were open this morning, but some of the schools in neighboring Alpine were closed. My youngest daughter was hoping that her school would at least have a late start, but no such luck. We'll make it a nice Valentine's Day in any case.

Felt a little sluggish this morning. I thought I was pretty much past the coughing and sore throat, but it seemed to make a bit of comeback this morning. My throat was a bit raw when I got up and I had to cough a few times during the run to clear my lungs. Nothing much to worry about. It's a clear, beautiful morning and it's Friday...and Monday's a holiday. Who could ask for more. I'm hoping to bump my mileage up a bit next week.

I slept in a bit this morning, but was able to get in a quick workout before taking my daughter and her friend to goalball practice in Midvale. I felt pretty good this morning and I was able to push it a little harder without any ill effect. My lungs are just about clear.
