Back on track

Every time I have a bout of bronchitis I seem to get slower. I'm still coughing now and then but I'm about 95% recovered this round. So I went over to the track to get a little slightly faster jogging done today.

But I just didn't have it today. (It was unseasonably warm, too: 63*F and windy). Mile repeats were:

• 12:33
• 10:44
• 10:40
• 12:59

The "fast" two in the center were about the times of my slow two in September. Oh well. It's all good. I just have to stay healthy and keep laying down the miles and they'll come around.

Whew, I have a 15k race on Sunday - I haven't run that long in ages. Last year I cramped up so badly on this course that I had to stop - I'll take the first couple of miles pretty slowly this time out there. Slow finish times are better than DNFs.

Halfway through the year

I just realized we're halfway through 2008.

Feeling puny.

• Swim: 31,992 yards (18.2 miles)
• Bike: 645.6 miles
• Run: 313.5 miles

I'll do better the second half, especially once school starts in the fall (yeah!). I also refuse to get sick again this year, I've had enough of that nonsense for 2008.
