Tuesday 2 - Saturday 6

I've been sick with no activity for 4 days. My symptoms have been cold like with no fever. It was so bad, I went to the doctor and started antibiotics. It doesn't seem they have helped much, although I did get diarrhea almost immediately. 

Other than going the the drug store or the doctor I didn't leave the house until Thursday evening for Cross-Knox packet pick up and dinner. I was a little ashamed to be out with my chronic cough. Friday I sat outside for a little while. 

Today I'm venturing out early to Runner's Market for Sippin with Saucony. I'm going to test run some shoes and I hope to get in an easy greenway ride.

Sippin with Saucony

I test run the Triumph Iso 6 and Guide 2. 1.5 miles in each pair. I may jump back into a pair of Triumphs. 

Sunday 7

Pre-race ankle mobility and strength

Cross Knox

I didn't warm up as good as I should have, maybe it was because I didn't think I was truly racing. This was probably a mistake. I was somewhat ok for five miles (8:12.9, 8:09.7, 8:46.9, 8:24.5, 8:13.6), after that the wheels fell off. 

Recovery mode the rest of the day.
