AM: 12 miles easy. I met up with Ken, Albert, and Bret at the Riverdale Parkway. We ran some single track trails just off the parkway that somehow we've never hit up before and they were crazy...tons of quick, steep ups and downs and just winding all over through a very forested area. We had no idea where the trail was going to come out and I joked that it'd come out in Narnia. It also appeared to be covered in a half inch of snow, but it was actually cotton and it didn't bode well for my allergies! Then we hit the parkway on the way back and finally looped Riverdale and ran at the Riverdale Park a bit.
I am still trying to get rid of this cold. Saturday didn't help. I felt worse yesterday than I did Thursday-Saturday of last week. I don't know if it was due to less sleep Friday night or the physical exertion of the race. But yesterday was pretty rough. Today though I feel ok again, about how I felt on Friday. So who knows maybe two more days of this cold (fingers crossed).
PM: 4.5 miles way easy pushing the girls in the double stroller. My little one Hannah loves it. She doesn't make a sound and barely moves, and then she almost always falls asleep. Only coughed twice on the run...progress! |
