Thanks for all the well wishes.
I didn't run this past weekend, we hiked up Diablo instead. Summit Road on Diablo is like an average grade of 6% over 4.5 miles. The trail covers the same altitude in 2.5 miles. It was not an easy hike, but it was pretty. Plus, it was really fun to watch the pros fly by.
Tuesday morning I went out to run and it was not good. My tongue hurt and felt really dry from dental work on Monday. My abs hurt from working with Shawna - ab pull ins/push ups with feet in the TRX and one hand on a medicine ball. Where does she get these ideas?
That was followed by ab rollouts. When the front of my shins started to really cramp up, I decided that was enough. I think it's because everything else I did with Shawna on Monday, involved balancing on a Bosu ball.
On the plus side, I know I am getting stronger. I did 3 sets of 25 bicep curls with the 40 pound bar, while standing on the Bosu! You really lack leverage when you are on the Bosu.
We're riding up Diablo again this afternoon after my chiro appointment. It will probably be another mosey ride, but it's good to get on the bike, even if it is just for an hour.

I ran another 6 miles on Saturday. This was a fabulous run! Everything just clicked and while it did not feel effortless, I didn't feel as beat up at the end.
My Monday trainer session was hard - robot push ups with feet in the TRX. Just crazy. Monday afternoon we went out for a 5 mile hike. It rained a little and was quite windy, but it was still pleasant.

The rest of this week has been horrible. I've had a nasty chest cold with a fever.

Working on it - today's the first day since Wednesday that I haven't slept most of the day. I think I should take stock in kleenex!

Sorry to hear about the chest cold but I'm glad to know you're starting to recover!
Tom and I both got bad chest colds after TransPortugal. I'm just now starting to feel human again. Tom is still sick and sleeping a lot.
