The battle against time on Monday must have pushed the engine too hard. I think I blew a gasket.
Around mid-morning on Tuesday it was clear that an illness was building. Fatigue was setting in. The throat had a mild tickle. Damn.
By evening, the verdict was delivered. Sick. Sore throat. No energy. The crud. And, overnight we got six inches of heavy wet snow. Add it all up and you have the perfect time for a trip to the East Coast. Up at 5 a.m. for a flight to Washington, D.C.
Despite feeling awful, I got out last night here in Arlington, Virginia for a six-mile run. Ran from the hotel down to the Potomac River, did a loop around Roosevelt Island, then ran a couple miles up the bike path along the river and looped back past the Iwo Jima Memorial. 50 minutes; 6+ miles (no GPS watch).
I hoped the run would ease the grip of the crud, but it didn't help. Glad I got out...the weather here is perfect - mild temps, light breeze, no humidity. Hope to kick this crap quickly.
That's good you have decent weather in DC - we're usually about the same and it's been 80's and humid here. Post run I look like I just came out of a pool.
