It was such a thrill to be running again that I took off and ran back-to-back sub-8-minute miles (7:00 and 7:30, respectively), but my recovering body wasn't so excited. The rest wasn't pretty. But I did run 4 miles at lunch today, leaving 11 miles to run over the next several days.
I'm optimistic, but I probably won't squeeze it all in on Saturday morning like last time (but, you know, never say never). My lungs are still a little bitter about the flu.
The repercussions of Wednesday, however, continue: my calf is still a little whiny. I'm telepathically cursing that cadet right now. Landon is right. My experience with Poor-passing-skills McGee on the track is just another reason to run outside. The past week's weather, on the other hand, is a reason not to. I have already admitted to being a wimp, so you don't have to remind me. But before I buck up, I'll have to invest in some better winter-running clothes. If it doesn't make a considerable physical difference, it will keep my conscience warm. And what else matters, really?
Off to get some sushi and sashimi and something else to keep me warm.

Hey, I am just getting over being sick myself. I am a runner for Adams State College, and my training definitely took a hit. It is absolutely wonderful being back though. Keep up the good work and stay motivated!
Hey, I have to admit I am just getting over being sick myself. It was just horrible not being able to do anything. I'm a runner at Adams State College, so the running certainly took a hit. Feels great to be back again though. Keep up the great work and stay motivated!
