| LM warmup (10 reps), 9.04 miles in 1:08:01, 7:31/mi, HR 154, 1.5 mile walk w/ dogs, PU/Crunches Ladder (6 steps), & stretching. Still a sore scratchy throat and some drainage, so decided to just go run whatever felt okay today instead of 20. Probably could've done the whole thing and set myself back again in the process, but 9 felt pretty decent. Right hamstring still has some soreness and the mysterious right knee pain showed up for miles 6 thru 8. Then there were the 2 dogs that a woman was walking without leashes that accosted me....not a huge deal as they just circled around jumping up and down, but one jumped pretty high and I think it was a tooth that managed to graze my forearm. The small amount of blood wasn't a big deal, but it left a half-dollar sized welt that is pretty sore right now.

Back to feeling like crap, so no running today. This is the strangest cold....seems to fade and then return, fade and return. So I'm going to take a couple days off for the greater good to attempt to shed this thing permanently. Not running today will be easy, since all the symptoms are in full bloom.....again.

LM warmup (10 reps), 8 miles in 1:01:41, 7:42/mi, HR 166, w/ 12 x 12 sec Hill Sprints, 1 mile walk w/ dogs, PU/Crunches ladder (6 steps), & stretching. Still sick but past the sore throat and muddled mind stage and into the coughing up a lung stage, so figured I'd give it a go. Wow. Either my legs aren't processing O2 very well, or I've lost 6 months of fitness in 3 days. HR was sky high, hill repeats were nigh impossible as my legs felt like lead. Even my left hip, which has been pretty trouble free for a while, was giving me grief, especially on the hill sprints. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

| LM warmup (10 reps), 6 miles in 46:30, 7:45/mi, HR 154, w/ 2 x Strides/Drills, PU/Crunches ladder (6 steps), & stretching. HR a bit better than yesterday, but the effort remains high. Legs feel trashed by the 3 mile mark. Obviously punted on the scheduled workouts.....just trying to get back into some running without getting sicker again. Really think it's doubtful I'll be up for a long run on Sunday, so marathon plans definitely in jeopardy.

| LM warmup (10 reps), 6 miles in 45:41, 7:37/mi, HR 155, 2 mile walk w/ dogs, PU/Crunches ladder (6 steps), & stretching. Sunny and 56F. Crazy nice out. Really tried to keep the effort easy today, regardless of the pace, so I was pleasantly surprised at the pace. Legs still feeliing like they're suffering thru the run, and the pain in the left knee sporadically returned, but I think things are getting better. Unfortunately, the cough is worse and I woke up several times during the night. Resorted to a salt water sinus flush today....very unpleasant but it seems to have helped the head a bit. Wonder if I might do my scheduled long run workout tomorrow?
