Barry and I drove up to Mink Creek to run the Half Marathon race course that w may run on November 7th. Both of us were still feeling the side effects of being sick all week. We both still had a cough, and are legs just are not there yet. We decided to run 10 miles of the HM course. The wind was horrible blowing over 20mph and it made the run difficult. We talked for the first three miles then Barry fell back and I kept going. At mile 5 the wind really picked up and was right in my face. I did push the pace I just ran whatever I felt I could. I ran an extra mile waiting for Barry to come in. Total 11.21 at an overall 6:53 pace in 1:17:14. After we got done and was driving back up to Mink Creek to get Barry's car. We were both hacking/coughing for about 10 minutes taking turns. Sickness can sure wipe your training out.
