Sub 2:19:00 marathon Personal: I used to run competitively, and maybe I will do so again someday. Right now I am primarily running to try and get in better shape, and to maintain both physical and emotional health, but also for the simple joy that comes when I run.
I am also the proud daddy of five little ones. I love the opportunity that I have to be a daddy, and my challenge is to balance my family responsibilities with work and running. |

| I woke up feeling much worse today than I have felt the last couple of days. As a result I ended up only running 6 miles. I just ran out until I started to feel achy, and then turned around at the next mile marker and came home. The positives I take out of today are that my pace was quicker than on Friday when I first started to feel sick (8:24 pace for first 3 miles vs 8:48 pace for the first 5 miles on Friday), despite keeping the HR at a similar effort (134 average for the first 3 miles vs 136 on Friday at three miles). Total time for 6 miles was 49:11. |

I started to slowly feel worse and worse yesterday evening, and by this morning I was feeling pretty crummy. My entire body felt super achy, and I was hacking up all kinds of mucus of various colors. No run today because I am sick, and I honestly think I would have made things worse by running. I had a temperature of 100.9 degrees and I slept on and off until about 1:30 this afternoon. I am feeling a little better now, but my body is still having trouble regulating temperature (its 82 degrees in my apartment, and at times I feel cold) Just to add an update to things, I took my temperature again before I went to bed, and it was 101.8 degrees... not so good. | Add Comment |

| The fever broke last night, but I still feel like garbage. I jogged an easy mile to assess the situation, and my legs felt fine, but the rest of me didn't. | Add Comment |

Mostly the same as yesterday, except I actually felt slightly worse. I jogged another mile just to get my legs moving, but no real running.
I felt like garbage in the evening. The pressure in my sinuses was so bad that I could hear very little, and my ears and head hurt quite a bit. Not fun.

| The ear pain went away during the night, but I still feel like there is fluid or something in my ears, and I can barely hear anything. Being sick is really kicking my behind. This is way worse than when I had the swine flu. | Add Comment |

| I ran 4 miles today. I kept the pace easy, but my HR was skyrocketing despite not running hard. My chest hurt during the entire run, as did much of the rest of my body. I was coughing a fair amount during the run as well.
