Will try to get a few more in the afternoon but I've been trying to come down with a head cold the last couple days so I might have to take this afternoon off and tomorrow is a rest day.

Morning workout at the gym rest day from cardio. I feel a lot better this morning but it's probably a good thing to take the day off from running and get this head cold behind me.

Still not feeling so hot but did manage to get out and run a slow pace 10 miler. 30 degrees, sunny with winds 5-10 mph

Afternoon easy pace run!!!!!

Last long run before "Boston". Started out slow with a couples miles to get warmed up then settled in to a 8:10 - 8:15 pace and I'd through in a MP mile ever so often.
