SLOC 1hr at Meramec. "Ran" it as an easy jog, breathing in only through my nose with the buff. Have to list it as a race because, with all the fast folks in the 2-hour, I did end up winning the thing. Nav was very good but, given the pace and terrain, that should have been a given. At any rate, wonderful to be out in the woods after a week of sickness. Still far from recovered.

Head cold has passed, but there may be chest problems to come. It got up to mid-50's so I bundled up and tried a short run, breathing through my buff. Lungs were OK. Legs are complete trash.

Went over to UMSL to sit in the sauna. Also got in a very short and very light elliptical workout to try to keep my legs from tightening up too much, but even 15 minutes made my lungs hurt.

I'm very definitely sick. Spent most of the day in bed.

Kate stayed overnight in the hospital. Meanwhile, I'm getting sick. Urgent care doesn't think it's flu; more likely common cold. Ollie is also getting sick. So awesome!

Big day at work followed by having to take Kate to the hospital for H1N1 Influenza. Yeah, that's good news.

Duck(U) @18:55,18:50. 10:00R. Effort felt right but I’m not too happy with the times. There was a little ice, but it still should have been considerably faster. Not going to stress over it given how well other indicators are looking, but it does recommend some caution in the early miles.
