Now that the leg is totally fine I have my first cold in years. This should not be read as a whine but merely a statement. The impact of a cold on training is just as difficult to assess as an injury. I feel run down but this could be the psychological impact of a sore throat and runny nose which means I should push through it.
I ran 10k on the treadmill in 47.41 this morning and felt good about it until I noticed the guy next to me was running a mere 1.5 mph faster than me which constitutes a horizon job. While he many not know it, we were competing and now I have my eye out next time I see him to give him a better run for his money.
Which leads to be consider what am I going to so if Mike is on the recovery shelf for weeks or months? Will my competitive juices keep flowing even if he is clearly on the ropes? I really had no desire to run a marathon this year until we formed the challenge but I became pretty pumped. Maybe Dave Borders, who allegedly is doing CFE will enter the fray.
Of course he might still be banning me.
