I ran 23 miles this morning to make up for lost time.

No, just kidding.  I'm actually home again from work, still sick.  But I am seeing a doctor later this morning.

PM- 6 miles.  Felt about how you would expect for the first run in a week after being sick.  But it was good to be back on my feet.

Sheesh, that was pathetic, far more so than expected.  I had nothing in me today.  Almost 3 minutes slower than last year and 11 places worse.  And I got chicked for the first time in a long time, at least the first in my 2 years on the blog.  Huh.

Splits 5:51, 5:27 (big downhill), 6:01, 6:26, 7:08 (big uphill), 7:09, 1:24.

To top off the day, I even got lost on my 6 mile cooldown with Fiddy, Cody, and Walter and ended up adding an extra mile. Congrats to Fiddy, Cody, Walter, and everyone else who ran a great race!
