My husband Joe is getting ready for a Triathalon.

I have not run consistently in over 2 years, a 10K race should be a good way to kick-start a new running program!

Today was the 60-minute run.  I can't say I was looking forward to it, but I got into it pretty quick.  I planned on doing an slow, easy run, so I only plotted out a 5 mile course since on the treadmill my slow easy runs are ~11:30 pace.  Apparently my slow, easy runs outside are closer to a 10-minute pace because I ended up finishing 5.7 miles. 

Muscles were feeling it towards the end, and in the last 10-minutes my knee (previously injured skiing) was NOT happy.  A little bit of swelling, but tomorrow is a rest day, so that should help it out a bit.

Running weather: 35 F and mostly sunny.

No running today...except for my nose.  I look like Rudolph and my garbage can is over-flowing with used kleenex.

Let me just tell you that Puffs w/ Vicks is the best invention ever.  They actually allow you a momentary respite from nasal suffocations.  If it didn't look so ridiculous, I'd shove one up my nose and leave it there until the Vicks wore off.

Ugh.  I have been sick the past few days.  And sick enough that I can't run.  Stupid sinus infection...who knew your sinuses could be this much trouble???

No running tonight, either.  My head is so clogged up that I get dizzy when I stand up too long.  Really quite pathetic. 

The doctor prescribed me drugs, but in my professional opinion they are not working fast enough.  Maybe this weekend will be good for a run...we'll see.
