It was a little warm this morning. I almost got dehydrated by the end of the run. I have 2 water stops on this 8 mile run but still struggled at the end.

Today I ran the Depot Days 5k in my home town.I had a race plan to try to run at a 7:45 -7:50 pace and pick it up in the last mile.The day started with lite rain and continued the whole race.This race has been run for several years and has a pretty good turn out.The race started and I stuck to my race plan for the most part.At 2.7 miles I tried to kick it in gear.The last .30 to .40 I ran at a 6:15/pace.I crossed the finish line at 23:49 and my garmin showed 3.11 miles at a 7:39/pace.A new PR for me and a lot of fun.

No running again today. My daughter has the swine flu along with about 20 in her class from school. I havent been feeling well for the last couple of days either.The doctor says that there is a 99% chance that the whole family will get it since she has it.I hope that he is wrong and that this is all in my head.After a PR this weekend I hear the road calling.

After a battle with the flu and then a crazy work schedule I finally got back out.I took it easy for the most part but did hit 7:25 a few times for about .400. I was surprised that I still had my fitness. I tried not to push it because when I would push the pace my cough would return.Felt great to be out again.
