You know how you hit a post race high and inevitably you come crashing down?  Well, my post marathon mental crash was delayed, but it hit hard last week.  I think the cold weather and dark mornings exacerbated it.  I found it really difficult to get motivated.  I watched a lot of Grey's Anatomy and ate halloween candy.  My husband was working long hours and my kids have been sick, so not the worst time to rebel against working out.  

Got back out there this morning.  The temp said 48 degrees.  The wind made it feel much colder.  Good to be running, but the laziness last week resulted in a slow sluggish run.

Gorgeous morning before the storm.  Just a little rainy.  I've picked up the crap the kids have, so breathing is a bit labored.  Not terrible, though.  7:23 ave.

Felt horrible last week. I caught the nasty cough that the kids have had. I finally felt good enough for a run. 6.5. It felt good to move again.

Lingering cough. Yuck. Also a little nausea. It will be nice to finally kick this virus. Cold, dark, windy this morning, but it felt good to run. 7:43 average.

6 easy with Jenny. Six miles is not a long enough run to talk.

8 early miles. The nasty air was making me gag, and I could have used a second pair of gloves. I felt pretty springy, though. 7:10 average.

Short run today. Stomach issues caused me to abort early.

2.5 mile warm up. Cottonwood Heights 5k. 19:34. You can tell I haven't been training. It was just for fun, though. 3.5 mile cooldown. 2nd overall.
