I tried out my sick and sore knee.  I've been a little sick several times over the last 3 years, and I've never felt worse for running.  Any thoughts on running while under the weather?  Does it hinder a quick recovery, or merely provide an excuse for skipping a workout?  How much running is too much running when ill?  The irony is the Saturday workout in the rain is likely what pushed me over the edge of wellness...  Catch-22

Illness day from regular work, but I still had to shovel many driveways.  Afterward, the afternoon was so clear and enticing, I put on my shoes and gaiters to see if I could make first tracks on BST.  Mission accomplished.  The views, conditions, and experience were all top-notch.  I'm SOOO glad I went.  However, I underestimated the effort level required to run in the 8-12" of snow.  This run, while worthwhile, completely wiped me out.  I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Slow treadmill miles.  Consistency narrowly defeated rest/recovery.  By the time I ran 4 miles, I felt pretty good; I could have run 8-10, but figured that would be over the edge.  I got off, ate some cooca puffs and ice cream (separately, but reused the bowl) and went to sleep.  I watched biggest loser.  Horrible.  Too bad they couldn't find some real contestants this year, and that Bob acts like a teeny tiny baby when he loses.

I got up early to make up for skipping last night (due to East of Eden book club).  10 minute warmup at 7 mph, then 3 min @9, 2 min @7, repeat until 9 miles.  Overall time was 70 minutes.  

Everything felt pretty good.  My 7 year old wakes up super early, so she came down and we watched Les Mis together.  It was a great way to wake up.  18 to go in the morning, so I'm checking out.

18 miles with Tara, 15 with Andy.  LPT, Main Street, Freedom Hills, including one up-down.  Good run.  These runs feel much easier than they did last year, at least it seems like they do.  I was wiped out for a couple hours afterward, but feel all right now.
