Finally - the weather was on my side, the sun was shining and I got some miles in outside! Only 4, but it's a start. Monday I went for a quick jaunt around the block followed by a spin class. I felt fine when I was in progress until .75mi and I thought my feet were on fire. Once the run was over, my feet returned to normal for my hour on the bike. The next day I felt like I got hit by a bus and was coming down with the flu (yep - at the exact same time). As much as I complain about treadmills, they are a little more hospitable than concrete when it comes to the destruction of your joints - also, running inside is warmer and there's never a threat of rain.

All was well Wednesday when I headed out for 3miles in the driving rain and was reminded of what actual training was like. I was quickly reminded again as I slogged through my Saturday "long" (4 miles doesn't seem very long) run. I was tired and less than enthusiastic about getting the miles in. Arrested Development and speed intervals got me through.
