AM - Decided not to get up with the guys to run this morning. We have some sick kids and last night my immune system was feeling run down so I decided to sleep a little longer and see if that would help. I ended up waking up with my tongue and throat swollen - my body is fighting something. I got up help the kids to school, loaded up on Natures Immunity and started feeling better by late morning.
Went out and ran Navajo to the top of the hill and back. 7.5 miles from the house (15 total). Solid pace, however I could tell I'm not feeling 100%. Glad I got out and got it done. After I'm done at the store tonight I'm going right to bed.
I've also decided not to race the half this weekend. I've only had two solid weeks of training, my immune system is low, and my SI Joint has started acting up again. The perfect storm for a frustrating race. That is...unless I wake up feeling amazing Sat morning.
