Today as I was coming back from walking the dog I saw a running buddy, so I jumped out for an easy 5 miles with him. I've caught some sort of virus from my wife which made my about HR about 30 beats per minute higher for the effort level I ran at. She's had it for a couple weeks. I'm hoping I can either kick it fast or at least continue to be able to run through it.

I did what should have been an easy eight miles today, but whatever viral think I'm fighting made it more difficult than it should have been. I'll be glad when this thing has run its course!

Another sick run with one trip up/down Cedar Butte. Between the virus and the heat this was tough work even though the pace was substantially slower than my typical easy run pace on this route. I still feel whupped two hours later! It might be time to ease up some more...

I felt a little bit better today and so ran a few faster miles at the end of this run. I had quite the coughing fit afterward though.
