      Nice work! I'm starting to do crunches again. They are the thing I need to do most and also the least motivated to do.

      Sounds like a good workout Chris. I really need to add more time for stretching and like how you treat it as its own workout with your core routine too.

    "easy does it" run at the Y.
    Nothing to report except that I feel much stronger than I did last week. Breathing was a breeze.

    quick loop around the hood. It was 30 degrees but felt colder.

    Pretty happy overall that I ran every day but TUES this week despite being sick. Only 20 miles, but trying to build up the base and be more consistent.

  5. goodOutside Rail Trail 4.21 mi / 00:41 09:48 pace

    It felt good to get outside though I was on the fence about it because it was so gray outside. Ultimately, I'm glad I did and ran faster as a result of the colder weather to keep warm.

    My left ankle was fine running, as were knees. chilled to the bon... read more

    • Kim A. Kim A.

      Yay Chris, so happy you were able to get out there and get a run in. I love running rail trails. Awesome pace, I am lucky if I get under 10 minutes so am striving to get closer to your pace, but it aint easy!

      Sounds like a good run. I remember the first time I ran 6 miles...it was because I was lost in a subdivision and was too cold if I walked, so I just kept running.

    There is a brew pub being built in my town. Lots of new construction going around and businesses opening.

      Your trail looks more clear than our trail. Jealous. They're not clearing the trails here this year.

      dunno if the town clears it or nature but for some reason ours is in better shape usually than the ones in farmington/avon. been a while since i'm been to them though. I know for sure they don't plow those. You have those ponds and lakes tho Dena!

    Dear virus-you are on notice. If you don't leave my body tomorrow, I'm Z-packing your ass.

    Run went better than yesterday. Was able to sustain HR in the 140s without feeling light-headed. I want my lungs back.

    Treadmill run at the fitness center at work (Bristol)

    Was shooting for 6 today but took it easy.

    Still getting over a flu or virus or something. My sinus is completely blocked and getting oxygen was a chore. Had to be a big mouth breather to get it... read more

    • Kim A. Kim A.

      Glad you are feeling at least a little better Chris. If you have any nose spray use that and another thing I swear by is chicken soup with a little Korean chili paste in it. Heck even if its spicy you won't be able to tell as you have no taste buds. ;-). Believe me, I am the queen of sinus problems and this helps me a lot. Good job today!

      Nice run, especially since you're feeling so bad. It's hard to exercise when you can't get enough oxygen. :)
