jebba, don't get discouraged. It will pass, just rest and chase that sickeness out. I felt the same way that you do all winter as I was constantly sick, or so it seemed, and missed long runs which was really depressing. But, it will soon all be over. 
Congratulations, Chris, on your PR. Great way to start the season! 
I hope you start feeling better soon, Nettie. 
---------- 
I ran my longest run ever yesterday, 14 miles. I loved it! I felt strong throughout and am looking forward to next weekend's long run ... either 15 or 16 miles. 
This week's schedule: 
M - Rest 
T - 6M 
W - 5M 
TH -7M 
F - Rest 
S - 4M 
S - 15-16M

10mi run today, felt really good, finished in exactly 1:30. It's my longest in 5 weeks...

MrPHinNJ · Mar 25, 2008

Nice job on the 14 miler, Jill. We had good running weather yesterday. I enjoyed my LR as well. 
This week will be in the low 40's again. I had to move days around last week, so today's 6 miler was my 5th day in a row (about 41 miles). The legs were definitely feeling heavy. Tomorrow is a much needed off day. 
Race day is 4 weeks from this coming Sunday. We're getting there.

SLOjim · Mar 26, 2008

No early morning meetings so I was able to get a 14 miler in without feeling rushed. Looking to get about 45 miles in this week.

Nettie · Mar 26, 2008

I am feeling better and have cross-training on the schedule for tomorrow, so I might try it out. Something nice and easy on the elliptical I'm thinking.

RunningForT3 · Mar 26, 2008

Nettie, glad you're feeling better. 
Jill, well done on your longest run! Big milestone, running over the HM distance. 
Today, 42 miles bike ride in the freezing Jersey shore winds.

MrPHinNJ · Mar 27, 2008

Tempo run this evening. It was windy again. There's a surprise. 
2.2 miles warm up 
5.5 miles @ 7:35 
2.1 miles cool down

Nettie · Mar 27, 2008

Apparently, that was sheer optimism on my part. Count me out for the rest of the week. <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">

Jill · Mar 27, 2008

Oh no! Sorry. Take care of yourself.

MrPHinNJ · Mar 31, 2008

15 miles this morning, giving me just under 43 for the week.

Nettie · Mar 31, 2008

Well, I finally started feeling better on Friday. My only run of the week was today: 9.66 miles (I managed to short myself nearly half a mile on my planned 10 miles) at 12:13 pace which is about a minute slower than I typically run my long runs. Ack. I hope my body can get itself back up to speed by next Sunday (race day).
