My throat was hurting and I was feeling bad after work yesterday, so crawled in bed for the night and napped and read until bedtime.

Walked the puppy 1 mile before work.

Walked the puppy 1 mile after work.  My dad called just after I got home and when I mentioned I had just got back in from walking the dog, he remarked, "It's too windy to go out down here in Provo."  I snidely remarked back (my dad was being rude for some reason)...."I had her on a leash so could pull her back in if the wind blew her away." That seemed to quiet him down on his lecture mode.

My knees were really aching a lot at work. Didn't know if it was from being sick or from not working out for a couple of days or from taper hypochondria, so went out running tonight.  I did six slow, miserable, hard miles out and back. Didn't wear a watch, but the first three were into the headwind and it didn't get any less miserable and painful on the three with a tailwind - just no dirt in the eyes that way.  I just finished stretching and think I'll go to bed for the evening.

Sorry we missed you at he Dirt Tours run last night. It was a nice run. Next week the run will probably be on Tuesday, but check the website to make sure. Hope you get feeling better.

Thanks, Twinkies... I didn't run in the morning because I was planning on joining you and then was really ticked when I got sick. I probably won't run with them next week because of the marathon - but will the week after.
