Well, I went from a really strong week of training to... having the flu for most of a week and being in bed, not running at all, skipping a race, missing a birthday dinner, and just generally feeling sorry for myself. ðŸ˜

| Boooooo flu |
Monday
3.8 mi ruck 30#
MLK Jr day, holiday from work, solo day all to myself... Didn't want to run after the 2 hard weekend runs, so I thought I'd go for a nice aggressive ruck hike. Packed up and went to Nine Times Preserve, found a nice loop and started off... not a quarter mile in, I was dying from the pack weight and the steep, relentless climb.

| I swear it felt so much harder than this! |
It was lovely with the frost on the ground and was good to be in the woods, but dang. I was exhausted by the end.
Tuesday
6.2 mi @ 9:35/mi
Did a double loop on the XC course for 10k Tuesday because I still felt like I needed a break from the hard weekend.
3.1 mi @ 9:55/mi
Snow Run at Rockers!
Wednesday through Sunday
walks
...aaaaaand I'm sick. Sneezing, chills (fever), congestion, coughing. Probably flu. Yuck. Kept the step streak going with walks but that's all I did the rest of the week. I was SO SAD to miss the Snowbird 50k on Saturday 😠but having a birthday coming up and bigger races in the near-term horizon, I needed to make smart (dammit) choices.
