Orienteering 51:59 7.83 km (6:39 / km) +166m 6:00 / km
ahr:165 max:198 shoes: 201110 Inov-8 X-Talon 212
A group of us met up for training at the Fells, and Dean and I ran the Green-Y long course from SML. I still felt sick, and my breathing was labored, but I longed to training. I decided to save the two red courses and the blue course for when I was healthy. Giacomo and Jeff ran the red course, and Lori and Stephen mountain biked.
I felt weak after an hour; the green course was suitable. I didn't have any big mistakes, but my flow was choppy, and I wasn't reading ahead enough. I think I could have run faster were I healthy - sub 45 should be possible. I took a stick to the left eye leaving control 12, which displaced my contact lens. While it was very painful, there doesn't seem to be any lasting damage.

Cool down. Felt weak. I took a long nap this afternoon; running seems to have taken a lot out of me.

Strength training 10:00 [3]
150 tuckups, 75 (x2) elbow-to-knee crunches, 25 pushups; done in sets of 25 interspersed throughout my day.
Running 12:00 [1] 2.0 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: 201108 Asics GT-2150
Ginger run down to the grocery store to buy some soup, tasty beverage, and cookies. Breathing hurts a bit, and I have an unacceptably high propensity to cough. I appear to be recovering, though. I wore a balaclava to try to warm the air before it entered my lungs.

Note
(sick) (rest day)
I am reluctant to rest, but as I was reminded, it is prudent. My illness is probably a cold - I have an irritated throat, some congestion, and intermittent coughing. I hope I can make intervals on Thursday.

Easy run about Cambridge. While I was loathe to take two rest days last week - not including a weekend without either running or O - my legs feel much better after the break. Skiing made many of my muscles sore, but running felt delightful. My legs were spry, and I ran more quickly than I expected. I stopped for a burrito at 5:00 in, and I wore SL shirt, tights, and gloves on a clear, 0° C night.
My left shin below my knee started to buckle at around 40 minutes; I experienced slight discomfort and unsteadiness, but no pain. I slowed as a precaution, and it abated. Pavement running kills. I listened to the album The Greatest Journey, by Celtic Woman. Finished with stretching.
In military procurement news, it's about time. Eleven supercarriers is absurd.
Update: Nuts.

Strength training 5:00 [2]
Five minutes of core: tuckups, plank, leg lifts, kayakers, elbow-to-knee crunches. I have fallen out of practice; while it would be excellent to do ten minutes of core, a few minutes of strength every day is easier to sustain.
