Sweated out my fever and sore throat all last night. So glad for ibuprofen. The pain in my throat yesterday with swallowing was intense--- but an hour after ibuprofen---MIRACLE. Then I would sweat like crazy. I did that at least five times in the last two days. I felt weak going to bed and still achy. But I awoke with a little more energy. Ahhhhh amazing what a full NIGHTS sleep can do for your body. I think the longest amount of sleep I got on vacation was 6.5 hours. Was going to run outside, was even dressed for it with running tights (got to wear shorts every day in California). But it was pouring out so I went to the rec with Troy at 8:10am. Plan to run 8 miles but I was feeling better and better that I ran 10. Not totally recovered from flu but enough that I could run 10 miles at a decent pace. I even added hills. I pretty much started out at 8:27 pace miles and every quarter I had the incline at 1 % then 3 % then 2% then after the 0.75 miles I would up the pace by 0.1 mph. I did this until mile 6 which I was then at 7:41 pace (although I upped it to 9mph for about 20 seconds). Then I ran til tm was about to shut off. 59:38 for 7.5 miles. Got a drink for my dried mucosy throat and got on for 2.5 more miles. Started at 8:00 pace for 1/4 mile at 1% the 1/8 mile at 3 % then 1/8 mile at 2%, then upped the pace by 0.1 miles. Repeated til I was at 2.5 miles--except last turn I upped pace to 9.7 mph for final 30 seconds. 19:14 for 2.5 miles. AP for 10 hilly miles = 7:53. Quite the Detox run. No sign of PF in my feet. In fact feet felt the best they have in a long time. : D.
