20F, N 11 mph.  7:24 AP.  Easy, but with a 6:28 thrown in on mile 7 to keep from getting too stale.  Probably a good idea, because it felt kinda bad.  I think I might be getting sick though, so maybe that's the culprit.

You're still getting some pretty cold weather! Nice running this week!

You're a glutton for punishment. "a good idea, because it felt kinda bad."

Don't get sick! You're just going to have to run anyway...

Look after yourself and if you need to, rest up.

Nice recovery week. Like Bam said, rest up if needed!

Thanks all - I am coming down with something but it seems like the standard crud, nothing especially bad. Nothing a 22-miler tomorrow won't cure.

IJR - thanks!

Bam - got about 10 hours of sleep, a PR this year.

Tracy - no pain no gain!

April - hahah!

Matt - thanks, will do.
