10/26/2011 - Long Run

My family has had a virus the last couple of days.  I knew that it was coming to me, but I didn't know when.

I took my running stuff to work just in case I was feeling up to doing some speed intervals.  I was on the fence about it.

I got a message from a friend..."You bring some running gear today?  I need to do a 7-mile run."

Who am I to turn down the opportunity? 

I knew there were things working against me such as nutrition and water and the fact it was 39 degrees outside.  But sometimes you just need to man up and do what needs to be done.

It was a 7.5 mile run for his half marathon training.  It had 2 very large hills (one down, one up).  We ran at a faster pace than I am used to so it really pushed me.

Needless to say, I now have the flu and my legs are still recovering.  This has been the longest recovery I've had for a while.
