I am a former runner who took the sport back up about 3 1/2 years ago. In the preceeding 20+ years I was a 2 pack a day smoker and the only excercise I recieved was summer softball. Needless to say; it was time for a change.

First long day since the race.  The weather was anything but cooperative. Snow turning to sleet turning to rain. Temps right around 32 with 25 mph winds.  The 5 mile stretch along the coast was like having half my face sand-blasted. Luckily it was mostly sleet through here so I got the maximum abrasion factor. :)  I actual enjoyed the run.  I think it helped that Dave went out with me.  I have a feeling I wouldn't have enjoyed it quite as much solo.. It's true- misery does love company; at least when it comes to running.

Tempo run today.  The first mile felt O.K. but then I hit a wall.  A chest cold is slowing me down the past couple days.  Finished up the 5k in 21:20 which was a disapointment but at least I finished up the run. Hopefully my breathing clears up in the next couple of days.

An easy 5 miles today.  Still feeling the chest cold, which continues to slow me down.

An absolutely beautiful day today.  Temps in the upper 50's. It felt like spring.  I changed up the schedule a bit to take advantage of the weather and the fact that I'm feeling better. I could have gone longer but decided not to go too crazy as I'm coming off the cold. Plus, I'm supposed to run a 5k next Sunday before the South Boston Parade.
