8 miles: 4 miles at 7:45 LT pace + Swine Flu Vaccine Side Effects

Yesterday I was a little concerned that I wouldn't be able to complete my LT workout today because of how badly it went last week. I'm still sick but I decided to go run anyways and feel things out...I did a 2 mile warm-up and then felt strained when I started my LT pace. That went away, however, and I felt pretty good. My average pace was 7:45, which is a few seconds better than I've ever done. Yeahaawww!

I read all of the side effects for the nasal swine flu vaccine and I've had a lot of them. (No wonder I could barely run the day after.) Regretting that I got it, but feeling a little better...I swigged apple cider vinegar yesterday and that actually made me feel less congested. Hoping to stick to the plan this week...
