73F, 71%. 7:30 AP. Sadly, my only run in Hawaii....will explain on Wednesday's entry.
For this run, I just wandered around, tried out King's Trail, which is a trail of volcanic boulders (didn't last long) and generally felt pretty good after 3 days off. |

52F. 7:21 AP. Back in Elgin. Kept it at a nice moderate clip on a cool morning.
So, remember how I was waiting to catch my daughter's virus? It happened on the plane ride to Hawaii on Thursday. So I was completely floored for most of the trip - fever and body aches with a nice sore throat that I still have. What a waste! I tried to get out and do some stuff but it was very debilitating...have not been that sick in awhile. The wedding was a success at least. Anyway, I ran on our last day (Monday) and we left Monday night around 7pm. When did we get back? Tuesday night at 7pm. Ouch. Thanks, American Airlines. So, a little jet-lagged today but we made it back.
There is a HM this weekend I am still planning on doing, but I feel like it's going to suck now. The good news is my legs kind of got a nice taper with all those days off, but the rest of my body is not as happy. Still feel loopy and out of shape. So my plan is to not do anything difficult until Sunday, then try to get back into marathon training after the race. | |

| 62F, 7:40 AP. More aerobic running, trying to shake the rust off, while keeping the effort low, while getting back in shape, while running a decent mileage, while resting for the HM on Sunday, while recovering from illness. | |

54F, NNE 16 mph. 7:20 AP. More aerobic miles, but with a HMP mile toward the end.
For the race (which we still need to go sign up for today), my goal is just to PR. My HM PR is the strongest one I have, so if I could improve on it after going through last week, it would definitely be a good sign. Good news is it should be about 40 degrees with the front coming through, my favorite running temperature |

46F, NE 13 mph. 8:19 AP. And, here comes the cold front! Short, easy run today and a HM race tomorrow. Still can't quite shake this sore throat/headache combo, but large doses of tylenol seem to keep it mostly at bay.
The abysmal 10K I just ran suggests I won't be anywhere near PR territory but I have a weird feeling I might be close.
Looking forward to seeing some St. George results today....go Neil! | |
