Did a really hard hill workout with the kids at the ridge. My breathing was still hurting from being sick and my legs were absolutely spent ... that is a really steep hill!

Looped along the freeway. Feeling better but my cough is still there and my nose is still fairly stuffy.

Running in Madison. It is cold here and I had to wear tights and long sleeves, but the trials are actually quite nice.

Freeway loop with some extras to get to Luke's house for a pasta feed. The kiddos have a meet tomorrow and it looks like their training is starting to pay off ... we will see.

Hills with the kids. Its a pretty hard workout but nowhere near 6 actual miles. Anyway I wasn't really ready for it so I was pretty exhausted.

Red bridge and my legs felt OK. I was pretty tired but my knees never really hurt so that is a good sign.

A few on my own and then 30 minutes with Ozzie. Pretty nice calm run all in all.

Along the creek with Ozzie and a bit more on my own. This is like 4 days in a row and my knee feels pretty good!!

Kind of an odd route today but eventually I ended up along the creek and around the freeway loop. My legs still feels OK but definitely perfect.

Ran 8x200 with the kids on the track. I'm amazed but I still have some actual speed in my legs from a few years ago. In the end it was a pretty easy workout but probably a good thing to stretch my legs out a bit.
