Training Log Archive: iansmith

Given the obscenely moderate but uncomfortably cold conditions outside - 24 kph winds, -8 C - I decided to run indoors at the Rindge and Latin War Memorial gym. I strongly dislike treadmills, but I suffered through an easy forty minute session at 2% grade. Body felt acceptable, though my breathing was at times difficult. I find that my pace on a treadmill is slower than on a road for comparable effort, so I am not displeased with my pace.

C • HTFU 7

Words I have waited fourteen years to read (or in my case, hear): "The end of the last book of the Wheel of Time."

Event: Vermont Ski-O Weekend
 

Itching to train, but I'm on my third box of puffs for this week. The first two were smallish - 56 puffs each. Taking pseudoephedrine, the occasional acetominophen, and a cocktail of phenylephrine and doxylamine succinate. I have probably doubled my fluid intake, and the tea is especially helpful - breathing steam helps my sinuses.

My symptoms are congestion, headache, and a little coughing. I suppose it could be a head cold rather than influenza, and hopefully I will be back on my feet this weekend. I have stayed home from work for three days.

C • The fever you mentioned three days ago 3

Ran four courses on Catching Features. Nice to see the usual suspects - Steve Gregg, JTeutsch, and runit.
