I got up early this morning and met Shawn for the ROB run. We turned around at the creek though for a total of about 18 miles and 3600' elevation. Considering my coughing and hacking I did better than I thought I'd do. I must be getting over this bug!

I ran an easy 4 miles in the evening heat around Rattlesnake Lake.

I'm feeling a little better and wanted to see some ground fly by, so I did a couple miles at 1/2 marathon pace. I aggravated my R foot injury that I reinjured at the trail race too. I either need to not do any fast running, not run in lightweight shoes, or both for a while I suppose.

It's very frustrating to not be able to train appropriately for Chicago, which is in only ten weeks. I just have to remember there will always be another race.

I did an easy-ish GA run today. Of course I waited until 2:30 to head out to make sure I enjoyed the heat of the day :)

It was much cooler this morning than it has been! I think it was actually in the 50*s even.

Yesterday while removing some 70# leaf springs from my car trunk my back spasmed and disintegrated (at least it felt like it), so I had a pretty tough time making myself put in the easy miles. Every step was painfull. It seems like about once a year I trash my lower back doing something.
