Notes

Cold, rainy run. I learned that I am NOT ready to run a fast time at this Saturday's 10k. I wanted to run two quick miles during this run. They ended up being a little faster than my current projected race pace of 7:10-7:15 (they were 7:02 & 7:04), but even if I had run them slightly slower, I could tell that I couldn't hold it for 10k. Breathing is still tough, and my legs—quads in particular—feel like sand bags (still not sure if it's from the bike trainer or just this illness.) I ended the run with a coughing fit, which is always fun. So I'll be running the race very conservatively. I'll go out slow and see what happens from there.
