I am still not feeling real great from this darn cold I have been fighting the last week, but I dragged my butt out of bed and headed out... I ran the Salem Canal Road to Payson loop, out and back, pace was really slow as the roads were really slick and unstable. My legs were very weak still from being sick and I didn't have alot of energy, I probably should have did only half of my usual mileage as apposed to going the full 6 miles, I think I would have been better served to just do 3 to 4 miles, but I continued on. Total time was 55:44 with an average pace of 9:14, heart rate was at 140, very slow and easy... I will have to see how I feel in the morning, if I haven't improved then I might only go 3 to 4 miles and take it easy the rest of the week until I get over this darn cold, I hope its soon.

My leg has felt pretty good, and I think I am getting close to getting back to 100%, cross my fingers!!!!

See ya tomorrow.

Good luck getting over the nasty cold. Hopefully my advice to try running even with the cold didn't aggravate things.

But I think with your legs feeling better and once you get over the cold you should be ready for some quality running! Hopefully the weather will do it's part to help all us runners out as well.
