Slightly longer run around Hawrelak and University. Calves a little grumpy today from yesterday's race.

5 Peaks race down at Terwilligar. 16km-ish, with a little bit of everything. Hung on to 3rd for the first 5k at a comfortable pace, then attempted to hang on to the leader, but on the second lap, he slowly pulled away on the flatter sections. He is a multiple Edmonton marathon champ, so I'll give him credit for his flat and hard packed running. It would have been nice to know my lap times, I would estimate he put 20 seconds on me on the first lap, and then another 35 on the second. Still, I can be modestly satisfied with a climb-y 1:06 16km and a 4:09 pace. I should get on the track and see what my 3000m is doing these days.

Same as yesterday, today.

Still trying to get over the cold in anticipation of this weekend's race. Felt modestly okay while running, definitely not great in the mornings, though.

Blackfoot recreation area wednesday night meet.

Almost over cold, but not 100%, which always makes me conflicted on exercise. Is it better to just assume you're over it and go out but potentially prolong the return to 100%, or fully wait it out?

Either way, Saturday is 5 peaks, so it better be gone by then!
