blah 3 mi 00:26 08:46 pace
My fever went away, but my head and throat still hurt. I felt like a bobble head doll during this run because my head was pounding the whole time.

Ow, that hurts just imagining it. Nice run, nonetheless.

Thanks everyone! I'm not going to start Run Less Run Faster right now. I'm just going to incorporate 1 speed workout a week because it's too hard to run fast so often with the lack of sleep I get these days. I think you all should check out the book because it sounds like it really works if you have the stamina for it. @Rich - I do see the scenery when I run because iFitLive is powered by Google Maps. I just borrow other people's maps and run it and enjoy the scenery!

I agree, Melinda! Less than a month ago I was on the elliptical due to some calf pain. Now, I'm running faster than I did before I injured myself. The body IS amazing! What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
