I Feel Like a Real Runner

I'm starting to feel like a real runner!  This week I have encountered some good & bad.  Years past when I was training more seriously I was always riding a razors edge between peak fitness and injury.

Training has been good this past week.  I've had some solid sessions this past week despite being really busy with work.  I'm starting to feel comfortable at quicker paces.  Saturday's workout has been the most intense workout to date. 

Unfortunately before the workout I didn't feel quite right, but decided to go ahead with the workout anyway.  I have always suffered from springtime allergies.  For the past few days I thought I was dealing with allergies, but on Saturday I was certain I was coming down with a head cold.  In an attempt to be proactive I opted out of a Sunday long run.  My hope is I will be feeling better tomorrow.
