long time no blog
after running at the pettit on friday night, i headed out saturday afternoon for 7.1 miles. sunday morning i woke up and didn’t feel all that great, which led to a day off from running. monday wasn’t any better as my oldest daughter (Jade) was up with "flu" symptoms through the night. i still felt achy and not up for a run.
tuesday afternoon i did get out and ran 6 miles at 7:50 pace. temps were in the mid-30’s and much of the snow had melted. i still didn’t feel 100% but was going stir-crazy from not running.
wednesday morning i got out for another 6 miles at 8:00 pace. temps were in the mid-20’s and anywhere there was puddles yesterday afternoon had turned to a sheet of ice. admittedly, i’m feeling closer to 100% after a decent night of sleep.
long story short, Jade came down with the croup virus. turns out that adults exposed to the same virus exhibit cold like symptoms…which likely explains how i felt on sunday and monday.
