Back to Running

Despite some breathing and coughing issues from this week's earlier illness, I logged 5 miles today on a very humid morning. The run itself was at my goal pace for the half marathon and I felt great the whole time.

The post run euphoria did not last quite as long. The clog that caused the sinus infection is back (gross, I know) and restricting my breathing and I am just struggling to keep moving. For some reason, chasing a 14 miler with no running whatsoever for the next 5 days causes the legs to hurt post run. I am sure there is scientific data to back this up. All the scientific data I need right now is that my legs hurt.
I would love to go back home and go to bed, yet alas I must work.

I also found out today that a running friend was diagnosed with H1N1 Flu and missed one day of running. Yes, today I learned that I am pretty soft.
I'll go hit the coffee pot again and see if I can break out of this funk. 6-8 miler tomorrow depending on how I feel. Thanks for reading.
