I ran last Saturday and on Monday (I'll log them later) but I've been pretty sick all this week. I worked from home Monday thru Wednesday and finally took Thursday as a sick day and slept or otherwise vegetated most of the day. Today is my first day back at work. I still have a little sinus congestion and an occasional cough, but I think I'm going to declare myself well...at least well enough to run tomorrow.

I stumbled on a quote today that I want to log in my blog before I forget it. It pertains to my motto "Every race is an adventure." It is by English author & mystery novelist G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936):

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered.

I believe there is some great wisdom there.

10 miles, very slow. My Garmin registered 15.8 miles at 9:23/mi, but some of those miles were walking and others were riding in Wayne's Jeep to get back home.

I hadn't run since Monday due to illness. I thought I had recovered enough for today's long run, but I had not. We were on a 14 mile route. At about 10 miles I decided to walk to avoid risking injury to me...and I was exhausted. Wayne ran on ahead and came back to pick up Larry (bad ankle) and me.
