Run in the winter

So the Cooper River run is a 10k.  And that's what the latest running group would be focusing on. Timed runs due to the early darkness that time of year.  speed work Wednesdays - which didn't happen all that much for me.  Not sure what happened with those days.  I think there were some work meetings.  And I am pretty sure there was weather.  And long run Saturdays.  Again I think the weather creeped in there a bit.

In order to prep for race day - the running group always does another race during the training.  You know to deal with the logistics and nerves that happen on race day.  This time was a 4 mile race on some of the local trails.  The nice thing about this race - it was pretty convenient to my home.  Relatively speaking. 

Again, it turned out to be a good pace run for me.  The first mile under 12 minutes AGAIN.  Yay me.  The hills on this course weren't that kind.  Oh well.  Neither were the frigid temperatures and - wait was that a snow flake?  But it was a good time..

Well that is until I woke up sick on Monday morning.  I am sure it was a combination of the weather and other things.  It pretty much took me down for the count for a few weeks.  Sore throat.  Bronchitis.  Head cold.  Hacking up who knows what.

So the focus was diverted in February.
