The plague is still present and last night's workout let me know it. When 2 miles of tempo work on an indoor track turns out to be a struggle you probably shouldn't have started in the first place. Well, I stubbornly started, and then proceeded to hold on for dear life on the final 5 laps of what should have been a relatively easy interval before it became obvious that I was finished. Four more 400s would have been futile, so I changed shoes, relayered, hit the sidewalks for a slow slog around the block and then headed home.

The plan is to lay low the rest of the week in hopes of racing at Harvard on Sunday. If the dark green crap launching itself from my lungs doesn't turn clear by the weekend, then fuggedaboutit. I learned my lesson last night: don't f*ck with the flu.
