oh no!

i waited so long to post...i don't even really remember what all i did.  this may not end up being exactly right, but it should be vaguely correct.

last week:

monday: OFF - didn't go running in the morning and then it was birthday evening, so we went out to dinner instead.
tuesday: 6 miles easy in the arb
wednesday: 6 miles easy in the arb - legs felt better than this, but i was initially planning to do my long run on thursday, so i took it easy mileage-wise.
thursday: 6 miles easy - i was going to do my long run this day and then my legs felt terrible...or i felt sick or something...i don't really remember, but i know i didn't end up going long for some reason.
friday: 10 mile long run.  legs felt great!  i probably would have gone farther, but i was a bit limited on time because i hadn't planned on going that far until i was already going.
saturday: 8 mile easy run.  legs still felt surprisingly great.  it helped that moorhead is totally flat, so it wasn't particularly challenging.
sunday: OFF -woke up really sick with a nasty cold, so i took the day off and took two naps with kittens instead.

total: 34 miles in 5 days.  best week in a long time!


this week:

monday: OFF - still pretty sick.
tuesday: OFF - sick and hadn't slept well at all the night before
wednesday: OFF - i felt quite a bit better on wednesday and probably could have gone for a run, but decided that one last day of rest was a good idea.
thursday: 3 miles - really really terrible.  i ran about 8:30 pace and felt like i had run way faster.  also, the breathing made my throat hurt a lot.
friday: 4 miles - a little bit better, but not a ton.  my throat felt better this time, but i still ran around 8:15 pace and it felt faster than it should have.
saturday: OFF - somewhat unintentionally, somewhat to let my body continue to catch up.
sunday: 6 miles - this felt better than friday, but not 100% yet.  my pace was a little faster - probably around 8:00, but it felt physically harder than it should have.  this cold is particularly hard to get rid of.

total: 13 in 3 days...not such a good week, but hopefully i'm on the mend and can get back on track next week.
