I started with a jog to Sasha's house.  Then ran out 2.5 and back 2.5 on the trail.  Ted and Sasha continued on for the (Un)eventful half-marathon.  The trail was snowy and icy, so the pace was slow.   It was somewhere around 8:20/mile.

It was another 4 miles along the trail.  Hamstring is a little sore, but other than that the legs feel fine.  Pace was around 7:45/mile.  The extra 0.25 was from running from the science center to my car.

I've had a sore throat for about a week now, so I decided not to run today.  Hopefully, I will feel a little better tomorrow.

I guess I should have run yesterday when I felt okay.  I woke up feeling okay, but as the day progressed I got worse and worse.

I feel awful!  I think I finally got what everyone else around here has been passing around.  I think I've been fighting it for a week now with the sore throat, but it didn't get me hard until now.  I'll probably take it easy for a few days and try to get over this quickly.  If it is the same thing others have had, it takes a good two weeks to get over it.  I don't want to wait that long, but we'll see.
