66F, S 12 mph.  7:32 AP.  Still sick.  Sorry I haven't been on the blog much this week, I will catch up with everyone this weekend.  My truck broke down earlier this week and that's been a huge hassle.  Yesterday I even tried to mow the lawn and the lawnmower broke (it is less than a month old).  Not getting in the miles I wanted running-wise, thanks to this cold or whatever it is.  Feel exhausted...  All temporary stuff though, hopefully I can recover this weekend.

Still looks to me you're running strong being sick and all..!! Sorry about the break-downs, I'm sure things will get better soon :-)

Sorry to hear about the mechanical difficulties. Nothing can be more frustrating than when things quit working.

But I digress...My favorite thing about reading your blog is that your slow miles are about even with my fast miles at this point in time in my training. You are really motivating me to continue to crank it up a notch. Thanks!

IJR - truck is fixed, mower is exchanged, cold is starting to feel better. How about you, after your last LR?

Daniel - that was probably more like my medium pace, I still run 8:30/mile a lot. I need a "medium miles" category!
