Ran down to practice at Monarch.  I ran with Greg, we have both been sic, so we took it slow.  We did a loop up the trail and around the Cove pond, then back on Rosecrest and Juniper.  I didn't cough as much as the other day, but still coughed enough.  Still feel weak, but I was happy to get a run in again.  1:01:41

Ran with Lucy and Jessica today to the trail on Mirabella from the HS and back.  7:50 pace.  Felt really tired today and I still coughed quite a bit, but at least I got some miles.

Lifted upper body afterward.

Because of me being sick for that last week and a half and me still having a nasty cough, I decided not to go to the 15k.  Instead I went out on a run.  I went out to the Cove pond and back, and then added a mile on Leila and back when I got home.  The temperature was great, but the wind was crazy!  Going up Juniper I thought I was standing still half the time.  The wind started to switch to the west and coming out of Rose Canyon and the copper mines.  I don't know how hard it was blowing but it was blowing big garbage cans down Butterfield Parkway and I was going about 9:30 pace on flat.  I think I only got hit by about 15 tumble weeds!  The wind was at my back for a lot of the way back and I was running 6:30 pace and felt like I was jogging.  Because I my health and how hard that wind was blowing on the way out, my body feels like I ran 15 instead of 8.  1:00.03 for the 8 miles.

I was super glad that I didn't run the 15k if the wind was the same as in Herriman.  I would have never made it with the wind and my cough.

I ended up with half the miles this week that I was planning on before I got so sick.
