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.

The cold is almost gone, just have a stupid cough. My eye is nearly healed from the freak accident with the soap dispenser.
It's been another week of very little training. All I have done is my two sessions with Shawna. I was really disappointed with my leg session. She wanted me to do ten jumps onto the 24 inch step. My first jump I landed really off balance and immediately bounced off the step to my right. My second jump barely cleared the step. I just had no power. I did the rest of the set and the other two rounds on the 18 inch step. I guess I really shouldn't be surprised - I lost 3 pounds in 5 days and I'm just starting to get my appetite back. And I was sleeping like a cat - 21 hours a day. 
Only a slight exaggeration.
I haven't signed up for a race yet. At this point, I'm not sure I'll race at all this summer. I'm okay with that. The chiro and massage therapist have been doing a lot of work on loosening up my shoulders and upper back. I haven't been in the pool in a while. The swim has always been good, I wonder if it will be even better. I've got lots of running drills to do when I can breath without coughing.

My eye is all better. I was able to put my contacts in on Saturday. Still coughing...
The best part of being on vacation is being able to sit with Tucker in my lap for as long as he wants. He's currently lolling upside down with his head in the crook of my arm.
I did an extra session with my trainer on Saturday - a lot of TRX work. One legged lunges on the Bosu, flat side up and pistol squats, also on the Bosu. Those were HARD! We bought a TRX to take with us on vacation so it's nice to have a wide variety of fun things to do.
