Tough run — a few periods of walking but I made the three miles. I’m still fighting the sinus thing but it seems better when I run. Everyone was COLD today, so starting slowly was the best plan. I did eat before running (a bagel), about an hour before taking off. That was a huge help. So, going forward, I will do the same when I run outside.

I have noticed the number of runners has decreased since the 2nd week. I think that many people are finding that this is tougher than they thought it would be — probably due to the quick ramp up of distance. 1,2,3,3,4,4,5 miles in the first 7 weeks. Today was the last of the 3-milers — up to four next week. God help me…
