All of last week's cold symptoms returned on Sunday night. I went to the doctor this morning. He thinks I just got a second cold on the heels of the first one. How lucky for me.

I ran alone this morning. I was so frustrated from being sick for the last 10 days that I pushed the pace some. Unfortunately, pushing the pace these days is only about 9:00/mi pace. I just can't seem to breath. The neuroma in my foot also causes numbness about 30-40 minutes into the run. It doesn't seem to get worse, even on a 10-12 run, but it sure is distracting. My hip is also still bothering me a little. I've also started to feel some IT band pain in my right knee. Getting old stinks.

Lindon loop solo. 4.7 miles. 10:09/mi. I'm sick of being sick. No energy this morning...again. It's been about two weeks now.

Wayne and I ran Provo Canyon this morning. 11.75 miles. 9:38/mi for me. Wayne was a little faster at the end. At one point, the wind was as strong as either of us could remember. Still, it was a pretty good run. I especially enjoyed running all the way to the end (unlike last week).
