A full lap around the community of Sunriver Oregon where I am enjoying one last family vacation for the summer. Felt like crap in every way. Sore from H2C, sick and congested and then the 4500 elevation to boot made for a fairly miserable run today. But no worries. Most of the issues are H2C related. I still owe a race report on that.

12 miles in the morning and almost 6 more in the evening. Still feel pretty poorly as I can't shake this head cold which has turned into a chest cold. I'm basically recovered from the H2C but running on half lung capacity is a bit exhausting.

Another cold run this morning and a bit shorter than I wanted. Still bothered by the head and chest cold which makes the 4500 foot elevation seem worse than it is.

 Finally getting my legs back although I'm still battling the head and chest cold which makes breathing at 4500 feet that much harder.

A wonderful 16 miles today on the trails of Central Oregon. I ran 5 of the miles on dirt roads along the Deschutes River near Sunriver. I ran early as it got into the 90s today.
