I still felt under the weather at the beginning of the week and was pretty bummed since it was spring break. By Tuesday I felt good enough to try the bike trainer and didn’t have any negative feedback from it. But then we got 4.5 more inches of snow, ugh.

I went out on Thursday and Friday and ran my Metrodome loop, unexciting but a safe 3.2 mile distance to make sure my body was handling it ok and not getting sick again! The sidewalks were messy, but fortunately the LRT trail and the sidewalks downtown were in excellent shape. I switched directions so it wasn’t the same exact workout both days!

Sunday I drove to Lake of the Isles and ran around it and Calhoun for an easy 5.8 mile run.  All of these runs were very sunny and right around the freezing mark.  The wind and remaining snow made it feel chilly but people were definitely out in shorts and or short sleeves.  Not I.  I wanted to make sure my body stayed plenty warm so I would get sick again.  I was tired by the end of the run so I was glad I didn’t try and do anything stupid in the middle like adding more distance.

Overall I’m happy that the week turned out better than it started!  Now the trick will be to keep improving!!
