Finally got back to running after being sick for a week. Still have lots of rattle in my chest but it felt good to run. Did slow running/walking on the indoor track, then picked it up to a nice jog and sprinted 1 lap (100 yds). Back to walking and slow running, then picked it up for 10 minutes or so and ended with 1 more sprinted lap. Chest felt better after running - counter intuitive to what I expected.

Also played some church basketball last night and felt good. Can run the floor much better than I could the past 5 years. Amazing what consistent exercise can do for a person....

Ran on the treadmill at the Y, longest distance since being sick. Definitely feeling effects of being sick/laying off running. Wasn't sure I could keep going - felt a bit light headed, a bit out of sorts, but kept the speed at a modest 6.3 and felt better after a mile or so. Left it at 6.3 for 3.1 miles, then boosted to a 7.0 until 4.3 then hit the cool down button. Felt good, very little coughing (although I'm sure it was too much for my gym mates). I know I'm not contagious, just getting rid of residual lung goo.... :)

TM at the Y. Took the Scouts to Stake Merit Badge Day then left them for a while and went to my son's basketball game then hit the Y. I'm still not 100% better so planned on only running 3 miles but was feeling pretty good, so thought I'd do 4, then 5, then ended up doing 6. Figured I might as well get in a 10K as it is my long run Saturday. Should've gotten in 8.7 today but I'm happy I was able to do what I did. Sure hope I can shake this crud.
