Went to the gym today. I'm still not feeling very well. Not sure if it's residual from the flu, cedar allergies or something else but my chest feels like it's heavy and harder to breath than normal.

Another gym day for me. It was 15 degrees at my house this morning, needless to say I didn't run outside. I still have this chest cold and now it's moved into my throat and head. Coughing and hacking up gunk makes it easier to breath.

13 Miles total with 9 @ 7:50 Pace.

Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.

I still feel like crud! Couldn't sleep, head and chest stopped up...so I just got up and ran. That makes a lot of sense doesn't it. :-( Probably not the best decision, I should probably be resting.

I cut it 2 miles short as I had a meeting at 7:30 this morning at work.

I'm still a little under the weather but much better. Today I decided to run my normal 10 mile loop and run miles 3,6 & 9 fast. I was pretty winded at the end of each fast mile but the paces seemed to be pretty good (6:30, 6:21 & 6:13). I am still laboring with the breathing after each fast mile. I don't remember ever doing this run before and may try it again when I'm feeling 100%. I would like to see if I could get my fast miles right at 6:00 pace and all the others average something like 8:30.

And to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.
