Fall Loop - 13.5 miles

13.53 miles Garmin Link
1:54:25
8:27 pace

Back in Philly. The weather turned much more pleasant while we were gone. Temp was 59 on the way out this morning and 61 on the return. Did the full East Falls loop from work, going out West River Drive and returning on Kelly Drive. Right shin and left hip were hurting the whole way. That was a disappointment since this is my first run in a week. Time was also slow. Probably still recovering from bronchitis that kept me in bed Saturday morning.

Hope I will not be too sore to do a 20-miler on Friday, but the way I feel now, 8 hours later, am not optimistic.

My buddy Tony Robertson recommends the new Nike Lunar Glides. Since the New Balances I got last month have been kind of a bust, I might go out after dinner and try on some Nikes.

I think it takes a while to recover from that stuff. I think I picked it up too but maybe not quite as bad as yours. I don't believe I had any fever but lots of congestion. Just got a mnt bike ride but my legs felt weak.
