1/12 to 1:/18: Down Week & Recovery

Last week I ran a lot of quality miles, so this week was a scheduled down week. Unfortunately/fortunately? - I ended up coming down with a virus, so the rest was coming whether I liked it or not. Before the forced rest, I was able to start off with a very good long run, but I could feel something coming on by the end of the day on Monday. Still an ok week mileage wise considering.

The running:

Long Run		0:07:58		21.30		Very hilly. Pretty dang fatigued at the end.
Easy		0:08:09		4.56		Just an easy recovery run.
Off				0.00		Pretty sick. Not going to be able to run today.
Easy/Easy		0:08:00		11.04		Easy double as I recover from illness - felt pretty crappy for each run. 8 strides down Poplar after first run.
Easy		0:08:21		6.26		Ran from work to watch Rupp shatter the indoor American 5k record.
Easy/3-Hill Tempo		0:07:11		10.09		AM: Easy jog to work, felt meh. PM: 3-hill tempo after work, and it felt really tough: 6.07 in 43:40.
Off				0.00		Hamstrings really tight, and frankly still feeling very worn out & moderately sick. Right shin feels like it's going away though, which is very good.

Total: 53.25
