Nice short recovery run this AM. I was stiff to start but loosened up pretty well. Felt pretty good by the end despite my cold.

Easy run today. It was a little bit harder since I have a cold going on. I am glad that i was still able to run.

Ran 5k this AM. Hopefully it will help my cold to go away faster. It made the run a little harder but I think it is working. The cold isn't progressing into my chest yet like it did w/ the rest of the family.

Nice short run this AM. did some pretty good hills. The last mile was a 3.4% grade. There were 2 steep hills 6.3% and 7.2%. My pace uphill was 9:22/mile. It was much faster downhill.

Wasn't able to run until after work today (after 13 busy hours). I wasn't feeling it but I didn't run yesterday and felt I needed to today. After I started I felt pretty good and was in the end glad I did it.
