Well this morning I woke up with I believe a cold. I was little warm, had a sore throat, and a nice full stuffy nose. Going to the track was out of the question because my body also felt weak. What a time to develop a cold almost a week before the marathon. I did run though and I probably could have gone to the track. Even though my head felt like it wasn't even in the run but asleep, my body seemed to know what to do. I ran the first three warmup miles with the dog 7:31,7:15,:7:07. Then dropped the dog off back home,and right in the middle of the fourth mile I thought I would do 3 mp miles. First mile (since I started so late in this mile) was 6:36. Then I decided to pick it up a bit 6:08. Well might as well pick it up some more 5:50. Then in the middle of the last cool-down mile I changed my mind and wanted to finish with a MP mile 6:29. I did 7 miles overall, and I still feel hot, tired and weak, but I will get some rest tonight and see how I feel tomorrow. |
