was sick feeling better
I have been feeling sick since Sunday but feel much better. I ran Tuesday, Wednesday, and today. Tuesday and Wednesday were some of the most painful runs mostly because I was sick. I had one of the best runs I have had in a long time this evening. Not really sure why. It wasn't really fast or really long but it did feel really good. I just went out and ran. It was a cool, calm night and just felt great. I thought it was going to not go so well because I did intervals this morning but it was quite the opposite.
I am running a 10k on Sunday evening and am trying to put in a few extra miles here and there to get ready. I have never ran a 10k but think I will make out okay. If it is anything like tonight I felt like I could have run forever.

update, yo
I took Friday off.
I ran a 5k on saturday morning with a time of 20:29. I was pretty happy with the time and am finally starting to see some of the hardwork pay off. I'm hoping in the next month I'll be down in the sub 20's.
No running on Sunday. Recovery after a night of partying.
Monday - I plan to run a 45 minute fartlek. I'm not sure how this is going to go as I feel kinda of sick. I'm hoping this will pass and is just a lingering hangover.

8/2 - slow 10 miles down front street. Probably the most painful run I have ever been on.
8/3 - Wanted to rest but was too bored. Ran 4 miles. 1st - 8:30 2nd - 8 3rd - 8 4th - 6:45
8/4 - Ab Ripper(p90x) and 10 mile bike ride with Reedster.
Tomorrow I'm resting my legs for Saturday's 5k and Reed's 6:20 mile attempt. I feel 50 bucks coming my way.

running in the rain
I was debating on whether or not to run tonight. I slept like crap yesterday and there was a crazy thunderstorm which was the perfect excuse to skip tonight. I ended up making some dinner and the storm passed. I just ran today with no particular pace or distance in mind. I got out about 2 miles from my house and the storm came back! I picked up my pace a lot and made it home without getting struck by lightning.
I didn't feel good all day at work today. I ran 4 miles in the rain and now I feel great. It is amazing what a run can do and running the rain is even better. The trail gloves are great in the rain.
I only saw one other person out running. Makes you feel great when you realize you are the only person in the city braving the storm.
