New week. Last week was rough. Ended up with Bronchitis and a Sinus Infection. Took off 4 days running and forced a few runs in thinking I could power through. I was wrong. I am not sure how I am getting sick, but it happened. Antibiotics are starting to work and I ran without massive coughing today so I will take that as a perk. Afternoon run 85º hot. A few fast miles to see if my breathing could handle it and I was OK. Not great, but OK. Hopefully I can get back to logging some serious miles and be ready for the fall race schedule.

Went ahead and did the July 4th 5k. I know my lungs were not a 100% so I wasn't expecting any PRs. To my surprise I won my age group. Considering 1098 runners and the vast majority competitive that was a shock. I got lucky with who showed up in my age I suppose. Still I was pleased with my effort coming off the bronchitis. Then home and a 4th party with food, fireworks, friends and fun!

AM -70º/99%/70dp before sunrise run. Woke up around mile 3. Very much out of it, but starting to feel normal again and very happy about that as I can return to real training.
