I really wanted to put in 9 or 10 miles this morning. Didn't happen. My 3 year-old got me up at 2:00 a.m. with a cough and a painful ear ache. After some medicine and some TLC, he finally fell back asleep at 3:30. Part of the deal of calming him down and creating assurance, however, was the promise that I would spend some time in his room until he fell asleep. Not wanting to get sick as well, I sacked out on his floor. Next thing I knew, it was 30 minutes later than my alarm had been set for. It was either bag the run or shorten it. Knowing that Sasha taught me early on that any run is better than no run, I shortened the run. I could definitely feel the heat (even early in the morning) as well as the effects of running a hilly course in Park City on Saturday. Slowly, however, as I went along, I felt better and better. Felt like I finished strong and, time permitting, would love to squeeze in another couple of miles this evening.
