General aerobic + speed - 8 miles w/ 10 x 100 m strides. 6:09 am, 42°F, 28% humidity, winds calm. I woke up once during the night with a coughing fit. I didn't feel so great when I got up this morning. I decided to take my temperature and if I had a fever, I wouldn't run. I kind of hoped that I had a fever so I wouldn't have to run. But I didn't have a fever, so I had no excuse and had to run. I felt okay while I was running, I guess, but I don't feel so great now. I ran my 4 mile loop and then a little out-of-the-way route to the track, did the strides on the middle school track, and then ran another out-of-the way route back home. I saw Barbie, who was out for a walk, both when I was on my way to the track and when I was leaving the track. I saw my third son walking to school while I was on the track with one stride still to go. AP: 9:19 Splits before the strides: 10:29, 9:58, 9:35, 9:25, 9:18, 0.26 @ 9:15.
