9 miles easy with Ken in Ogden. 

Single digits and haze!  It's so nice to be back!  My legs felt pretty decent this morning; there's no soreness, just a tad of fatigue.  I'll see how they are feeling tomorrow morning and decide whether I can do my aerobic builder tomorrow or if I need to push it back to Wednesday.

AM: AEROBIC BUILDER

I decided my legs felt up to getting back to business as usual, and that means an aerobic builder on Tuesdays.  With it being 5 degrees outside, I headed to the gym and did the workout on the treadmill.  I averaged 5:21 pace for 8 miles.

PM: 5 miles easy on the base perimeter road.  It's still cold in the afternoon and the road is still covered in ice...yeah!

AM: No run.  I got violently ill last night with some sort of flu bug or food poisoning or something.  It was a long, miserable night (I lost 5 pounds overnight).  I feel a bit better this morning, but I feel very weak and dehydrated.  I don't have an appetite, but I will try to get some food and especially water down and see if I can get out for a really easy run this evening.

9.5 miles easy.  I feel really fatigued and low on energy from being sick, but I was able to slug out 9.5 easy miles.  I definitely didn't have any where near the energy needed to get in my weekly Thursday hard workout.  Hopefully I can get my energy levels back before Saturday's long run.

8 miles easy around South Weber.  It was cold, wet, and icy, but I was still able to hold a decent pace.  I feel like I'm almost fully recovered from my mid-week stomach virus.  I'm looking forward to a good long run tomorrow.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

LONG RUN

I met up with Jed, Ken, and Bryant for a 2.5 hour run.  Jed was only planning on 10 miles, so we headed out on a 10-mile loop.  Three miles in I simply had no energy and felt so weak.  I was thinking I was going to be lucky to make it 10 miles.  I figured my energy was still low from being sick.  But, after awhile I got going.  It never felt great, but I got the whole workout in.  Bryant and Ken stopped at 16 miles and then Ken drove 6.5 miles out and picked me up after I finished.  I threw in a 4-mile pickup at 5:27-ish average.  I wanted to average 5:20 but the first two miles were into a headwind and were slower, once I turned and it was a crosswind I easily managed 5:20 pace for the last two.
