Evening run.  50 degrees.  Head cold has moved into my chest.  Total time 30:50.  9:42 average pace.  Miles 1-9:26  2 10:09  3-9:36.  I felt like garbage the entire run.  Shin on right leg hurt entire run.  Area where right butt cheek crease is hurt like crazy.  Felt very very slow.  Sucked on a cough drop most of the run.  Came home and iced butt and shin.  used foam roller and stick.  Slept in compression sleeves.  Coughed most of the night.  I NEED to get this crap out of my body!!!!

Started at the base of the deep gully in Kayenta.  Went through Ivins and down snow canyon parkway to bluff then diagonal to main to confluence.  Did mayors loop bloomington hills side first.  then to tonaquint.  I felt okay until we got to Confluence.  My legs were very tired and I felt like crap.  Wanted to go home at mile 13.  But I powered on.  Felt my worst at mile 15.  Broke it down into small segments and got from one segment to the next with a short walk break at each new segment.  Definately not good to run once the week before.  Hard to be sick.  Took friday, saturday and sunday off trying to kick the head cold.  Glad I completed the miles.  Sad that I felt so crappy.  Less than 2 weeks to marathon.  Refilled water at mile 13 and 18.
