This week wasn't so good for running. I didn't run Monday or Tuesday. By Wednesday, I was feeling a bit better, so I went for a short run around the Nike world headquarters. It was about 2.5 miles. It had been raining a lot earlier in the week, so the trail around Nike was pretty muddy. I was wearing pants, although my friend who ran with me was wearing shorts. When we got done, I noticed I had mud all over the backs of my pants legs. My friend had mud all over his legs.

On Thursday I went for my normal 4 mile, weekday run. I was still taking it easy as I wasn't 100% recovered from being sick. I felt fine. That night I went out for a few beers with a friend.

I don't know if it was the beer, or a relapse, but Friday I really wasn't feeling that great. I decided to take the day off from running. I also didn't run Saturday, which is normally the day I rest.

I'm hoping to run tomorrow (Sunday), but my usual running partner for the weekend is out-of-town, so it will be really easy for me to skip it. If I do run, I'll try to do it early so I don't miss any of the football games on television. With the writer strike going on, Football is about the only thing I watch on TV.
