Well, since my last run… I’ve been sick. I came down with a cold on Friday, and it progressed badly enough that by Saturday afternoon I had to admit defeat and scratch my participation in Nations Tri. *sigh* It took a full week to get better, but this Friday was the first day where I was Day/NyQuil-free.

Anyway, John and Stephanie were running their 22-miler today, so Ben and I joined them for a portion of the run. The plan was to run 8 miles with them, but there was a slight miscalculation in distance. Still, it was done at a nice slow and steady pace (what with them having 22 miles ahead of them!), and the weather was amazing. Crisp and cool, a gorgeous 57 degrees. A perfect way to come back to running once more after 11 days off.
