The theme for the day: "Caution: Falling Snow". This balmy 40 degree weather is making all the snow fall out of the trees. I was dodging the snow bombs my entire run.

2 mile warm up, then I did 15x1:00 pushes, 1 mile cool down. 7 miles of fun.

No running today. I'm sick with a fever, cough, congestion. Glad I got some good running in earlier this week.

90 minutes on the spin bike to try and sweat the sickness out.

The first run after being sick is always hard. I thought I would feel better but I felt pretty crappy the entire run. I could barely keep under 8 minute pace. But I was able to run my favorite Holladay route. 7 easy miles. I hope I feel better on Monday!
