Still not feeling 100% but since my throat doesn't feel like 1000 tiny ninjas are chopping it to bits and pouring sriracha into the open wounds, I got in a decent run.
Have been sick for over a week now and can't seem to shake the congestion and cough. The good news is I get a solid core workout from about 9 pm to 9 am from coughing all night long.
Today I decided I couldn't let this amazing weather go to waste and got out for a run. It wasn't pretty and I coughed up some scary things, but felt good to be out after 5 days off. Hopefully the lungs can clear up and the cough will go away soon.
Felt really good this morning. It may have been the cold weather that made me want to run fast so I could be back in my warm house or my legs just felt good after a really low week last week. Either way I felt great. Couldn't get in many miles because I had other stuff to do but ran this a bit quicker than normal pace.
Threw in a .6 mile at 6:35 or so. Thought it was going to be .5 but ended up a little longer than I thought.
7.05 on the usual up and down route. Saw a broken car window and instantly turned into a detective for the rest of my run trying to figure out the perps path. I didn't catch anyone, but I did get spooked by a dog.
Met James and Fritz at Arby's by Olympus College. Ran about 6 miles before having some left hip and knee pain. At almost mile 8 I pulled the plug on running with the second group. I started feeling better by running a slower pace. Decided to get to at least ten for the day. I need to get my left leg pain figured out. Anytime I run faster than about a 7:30 it flares up and makes me slow down and then I have pain for a couple of days. New shoes? Hip imbalance? All mental? Hope it isn't my meniscus after having it repaired a few years ago.
Ran laps on the cruise ship to see what my map would look like while running on a moving object in the middle of the ocean. Turns out it looks like a straight line with some very slight bumps in it. My watch said I ran 18 miles at a 2:43 avg pace. In reality was likely 6 at about an 8 min avg.
