Felt better today than I've felt for a while.  Still breathing awfully hard for not-so-fast pace but so is Kim so we're figuring it's still the blood donation effect running it's course.  

Ran just over 3 miles with Kim then the rest solo. Did a mild progression run, start out nice & easy then gradually work toward MP effort the last 2 or 3 miles with uphill the last mile.

Would have been a good day to stay in bed for me today. I've had a sore throat and head cold coming on the last couple of days. Took some Nyquil last night to help me sleep (which it did), but unfortunately it left me with a bit of hangover for the morning run and made it feel like a death march.  I was just glad to be done after 8 miles. Hopefully taking it easy today and day off tomorrow will make things good to go for Monday.
