Not a great run, and it ends a somewhat disappointing week. Friday I woke up sick and took the morning off, then worked 12 hours and it really nailed me. So I skipped the early morning Slugs run and slept in until 8, then went out the Tracyton Beach Road out and back. I went all the way to the Tracyton dock, which wasn't quite as much of an addition as I thought (about a mile short). But my pace was fine, I've avoided getting sick (feel much better that way this morning), and even had a few decently paced miles in the middle of the run. Around 9 my left hamstring started to tighten up though, this is the one thing I'm worried about a bit. I stretched, but then my hip flexor got tight. It's nothing serious, but worth paying careful attention to so it doesn't get exacerbated.

I shouldn't be too hard on myself, but a 4-day week in the 20s for mileage right now wasn't what I had planned. I'll run tomorrow to get a better start on next week.
