10 easy miles from my home with Reed, Chad, and Mike. My GI system has not been the same since the race. I must have a tapeworm. Just kidding; I'll bet I have some type of bug, though.

20 miles with Mike (in pouring rain) on the Jordan River Trail:  1 mile jog, 18 miles at 6-min pace, 1 mile jog. Good workout. Felt good: legs are now tired, but the run was not hard cardio-wise. I think sub-threshold runs like these are a good idea every once in awhile. Could not have been more wet during the run. My nipples are raw and bleeding :) Vaseline, bandaids, and tape don't work for me, so I just have to deal with it :)

I consider it a small victory that I was able to run every day this week. I got a significant upper respiratory illness soon after the SLC 1/2, and it was especially bad Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm finally on the mend. Through it all, my energy level was generally Ok, so I just kept running (just easy miles). Looking back, I think my GI issues last Saturday were the beginning of this illness. Poor timing, but nothing I could do about it.
