Nice to get out in the sun even with my coughing fits. Even did 3 hills during the run.

Slept in a bit then enjoyed a nice 8 mile easy run with Kimi on a quite warm and lovely morning, albeit a bit windy. Best I've felt all week by a long shot so hopefully the dang cold I've had all week is about wrapped up. But kinda bummed that Kim's knee is still being a problem child once we get to about 5 miles or so into the run.

Similar to yesterday. Actually felt pretty good on the run for a change, hopefully the trend will continue and I can conquer the bum-itis.

Longest run since Boston. I feel OK at slow paces but dang hamstrings and feeling out of shape keep me from doing much faster than about 8:50 pace. Nice to see the gang and beautiful morning, haven't been out on a Saturday run with the group since before Boston.
