Saturday am, almost 5 miles in almost :38

I've been slightly sick this week, which shouldn't necessarily have kept me from running, except that I wasn't sleeping well and just didn't want to get up in the morning. Saved by the weekend, I took Silas out this morning to pick up breakfast and knock the rust off. It was an easy run, past the Edible Schoolyard, half a lap on the MLK track, up and around to the Cheese Board, where I picked up a couple pastries, and home again on Milvia. The ease of the sub-8 pace tells me that I probably should have made more effort to run this week, but maybe the rest did me some good. I left large quantities of phlegm in my wake, anyway (in case you wanted to know).

Followed up with some cross-training, i.e., digging a garden bed in the back yard, and some ginger-cayenne-lemon-honey tea, a homemade concoction that is providing some relief for my sore throat.
