It was supposed to be a recovery week… and thanks to my stupid cold, it really was a small one.

Week 10 distance: 11mi (18km)
Week 11 distance: 26mi (42km)
Week 12 distance: 6mi (10km)

That’s disappointing. I gave myself an extra day to recover after the 15-miler, and I did short easy runs on Wednesday and Friday. Then I got sick and didn’t do anything on the weekend. So far this week I walked two miles on both Monday and Tuesday (to the city for my class), and then today I ventured out for a run. I’m happy to report that my legs, back, and lungs are all in good shape. I’ve been coughing a little, but that seems to be solely related to the mucus in my head. So I’m feeling cautiously optimistic about the Bridge Run on Sunday. My dream goal would be to finish the 9K in under an hour, but I’d settle for just running the whole thing without stopping.
