4 is better than 2

6 miles on pipeline. Feeling tight and pretty sluggish from yesterday's grueling 5 miles on the treadmill, this is not a good sign as to my current level of fitness. The last 2 miles back were actually much better and I felt good overall. Things finally loosened up and I felt like I could actually move a little.

Spent some quality time on the treadmill, this usually lights my feet up so we will see what happens this time. I took an ice bath right after, that should help.

A muddy 6 on pipeline. I was expecting either a dry or frozen trail, but there was way more mud than I anticipated. The run started slow but got better as it progressed, the knee was a little tender at the start, but felt fine at the end of the run.

Back in town, decided an easy 4 would be in order to recover from the train ride. A little stiff getting started, but felt pretty good by the end of the run.

As predicted, the cold has sent in nicely. I am now coughing heavily. Sometimes a slow run will help me feel better, and today seemed to work at least temporarily. I felt good at the end of the run, but by late evening I was pretty well hacking constantly.

Figures yesterday would be followed by a resufgence of this studid cold. I am starting to hack now which means by tomorrow it should be full force rib cracking coughing. About once every 2 years I get this crap and it is miserable. The run went fine, and it was a nice day to be out, I will take the positive.

Pipeline again, a great run. Moving pretty fluid feeling good today.

Short on time this afternoon, but an ok 4 miles. The truth is I actually had time, I just chose to use it poorly. Sloppy trail conditions, slippery, I will run elsewhere tomorrow.

Muddy!! Pipeline was a muddy mess today, but a good run none-the-less. Cold has still got the better part of me, but I am out and able to move a little so I guess that is good. Hopefully looking to add a little more mileage in the upcoming weeks, we will see. Loving the weather, nice, not too cold, great just to be out exploring.

Out on pipeline again, nice day, but this cold is kicking my a--. I have not had a cold in a couple years, have not missed it one bit. Might be time for some garlic black bean soup over some red rice - yummy! My spanish lessons on the run are entertaining, but I think I am actually getting worse at speaking, I am sure over time it will be easier.

Coming down with a cold, so I just wanted an easy and very slow 4 miler. Felt better after the run, if only a little dizzy. The trail was in good shape still, so maybe I can get a couple more weeks on it.

Another 5 on pipeline, snowy run, and pretty cold. The trail is still in good shape, and I had the whole thing to myself - very nice run.

Back from Mexico City, what an amazing place, loved it. Lots of people, and lots of culture, I enjoy the diversity. I feel so P.C. diversity, I must laugh a little... I should really think before I put things on paper. Oh well, the run was ok, good to get into the clean fresh air, but I sure do miss those pyramids.

Likely the only run I will do in Mexico City, but what an amazing run it was. I ran the perimeter of the pyramids, it is about 6 miles around the park, and you get a clear view of all three pyramids. The pyramid of the sun and moon are simply amazing, and looking straight up the avenue of the dead - simply once in a lifetime!. To top it all off, I had a great run, and felt really strong - what a great day!

I will call it 5, but it was likely a bit short. Pretty achey today, feet have been swollen and a little tender all week. Struggled to find a decent rhythm today, better toward the end, but still... I normally do not run in the morning so I was certainly a little slower moving at first, but it nice to have gotten out.

2 miles with a client - not much of a run, but at least I was out.

Out on pipeline, a good run - best I have felt this week - actually moved well for the last several miles. I need to pay more attention to taking care of my injuries, I know I am becoming lazy with them.
