Easter hasn’t gone quite as planned. I thought it would be a good opportunity over the holiday long weekend to get some decent mileage in, instead I wound up sick. Thur and Fri I had been coughing a little while running, Fri I was up all night with a constant chesty cough and sore throat. My wife picked up a couple of medicines for me Sat morn and I have stayed in at home since then to shift it. This morning I ventured onto the treadmill for 4 x 5k with breaks in-between to drink water, have coughing fits, suck lozenges etc.

I was struggling on the last 5k, what was easy a month ago now feels hard, blah!
P.M. A short 3k walk outside in snow showers to get some fresh air, staying inside has driven me nuts. Goal next week is to get rid of this b%*#y cough and get some easy runs in. | | Comments(2) |

| Worse today so no running at all, heavy cold symptoms as well as the cough. Spent last night on the sofa so my wife could sleep. I now look forward to any sort of running outside, perhaps later in the week. Planned which races I would like to do in the next couple of months to cheer myself up. | | Comments(1) |

A.M. Easy paced trail run, starting to feel much better, only 2 enforced coughing stops. The temperature is starting to pick up and the snow is quickly disappearing. Nice to be out and about this morn, the animals in the woods obviously feel the same, lots of noise and sightings. Total 18k in 1:27:37, av pace 4:52/k, 7:50/mi.
P.M. Slow and easy evening run winding through the vineyards. Warm and windy allowing me to select some 3/4's to expose my shins to an unsuspecting world. I'm getting excited at the prospect of summertime, it makes doubling so much more inviting. Total 12,2k/7,6mi in 1:01:33, av pace 5:03/k, 8:07/mi. | | Comments(2) |

| A.M. Starting to feel much better now so I treated myself to a hill run this morning. The run starts in the valley and goes uphill to the top of one of our highest hills in the area. The top is reached after 10,8k and approx 300m ascent and was a triple F run last summer (a firm family favourite). I like to hit the top under the hour and today was pleased to see 56:26 on the watch. The snow was patchy and slushy and disappearing fast in the milder weather we are now experiencing. The rest of the run is across country then back downhill with a couple more small uphills at the end that are good strength sappers. A delight to run and it was a decent hard steady effort today. Total 23.3k in 1:55:36, av pace 4:58/k, 7:59/mi. | | Add Comment |
