Hill Work Thursday

Getting back into the groove after missing last week due to illness.

It was warm enough here to do Hill Work Thursday outdoors... on actual hills!

The treadmill for hills just doesn't cut it.

Speed Work Tuesday

Back to running today. First time since the 15th. That "fatigue" I felt coming on last week was either a cold or another bout with bronchitis.

Still not feeling 100%, but the antibiotics are helping.

I sound horrible.

Running Report - 2/16/09

Had a great Long Run Sunday yesterday. Six miles. Switched back to the bike path after 3 weeks at Lincoln Woods. There's still some icy spots, but it's nice to be running on flat ground again.

Joel had me do a gel pack at the 3 mile mark. The gel pack shot was fantastic. I felt it almost immediately. It's just a little bit of caffeine and sugar, but it worked wonders. Perked me right up.

I'm a little sniffly today. I don't know if I'm coming down with the cold that Jen and Liam had, or if it's just from spending an hour outside yesterday in 35 degree weather.

I've also been tired lately. REALLY tired. I fell asleep on the couch Saturday night at 8. I'm hoping it's not some kind of fatigue or anything setting in. But my legs feel fine. So there's that.

I'm at 27 miles for the month. 51 for the year.

97 days until race day.
