February 5th: Laid Up

I'll keep this short and sweet. After my long run Sunday, I started feeling some respiratory problems -- congestion, coughing, etc. That morphed into sore throat, sneezing, runny nose, and just about everything else. This is the mother of all upper-respiratory infections.

Looks like I'm going to lose a full week of training. If I feel better Sunday, I may be able to get back out for a run -- but I really shouldn't do a long until next week. I have to figure out how to adapt the training schedule so that I can be back on course in a week or so.

As I wrote on Facebook, this illness is the Seahawks, and I'm the Broncos.
