"If we don't suffer enough we won't remember it."

4 miles avg 7:05 pace.

Intervals at OHS track.  Melody, Emily, Rebecca and Amber had already started when Melanie and I got there.  We ran an 800, 1,000, 800, 600, 400, 200 with them then.  They had worked up to the 800.  We decided we hadn't run enough and did another 800.  We thought that still wasn't enough and did a 400.  Then we stood on the track for several minutes trying to calculate how many miles we had done of speed, we wanted 4.  Fatigue was seriously impairing my ability to do math at this point.  I finally decided we still hadn't run enough so we ran another 600 to get what we needed.  Our whole recovery time was spent just standing there trying to figure it out.  It was sort of a haphazard interval set for us, but I was exhausted at the end, so I guess it worked.

10 miles with Melanie and Melody from Melanie's house in Lehi.  Smith's route avg 6:46 pace.  I was so tired.  Haven't slept well this week because I keep getting up in the night with my son who is sick. 

Nothing today.  Yesterday after lunch I was so exhausted I tood a 2 hour nap.  When I woke up I felt like I was getting a little sick.  My son has been sick for almost two weeks now.  When he came home from school it was clear the antibiotic we started for him on Wed wasn't working.  I think he might have Pertusses/Whooping Cough.  I spent the morning at the hospital with him getting tested.  We changed his medicine and will know Mon whether that's what he really has.  I hope he gets better fast and that I don't get it.  He seems miserable.

14 miles with Melanie and Melody on Jordan River parkway trail, avg 6:52 pace.  I slept well the last two night so, although my throat hurts a little, I felt much better than on Thursday.  We just got a call from the doctor saying my son has Pertusses (Whooping Cough).  He's putting the whole family on antibiotics.  My son literally coughed into my face several times last week so when I started feeling sick on Thursday I knew I had whatever he has.  I'm glad I'm getting medicine for it before it gets too bad.
