Comments:
South Overlook up North Park to South Park to South Woodland to Green and back same way (alone) - I felt nauseous and was hacking stuff up for a lot of it, so it wasn't my best moment by any stretch. My left hip/groin area was very sore on the way back and I don't think I've had a run over 9 miles yet this summer where either it or my right one didn't bother me. However, I did manage to sort of get in a nice rhythm for a little bit on the way back and it wasn't as horrible as the rest of this log makes it sound.

I'm probably in the middle of my very worst stretch this summer in terms of how I'm running. I'm sort of to the point where nothing is going too well. I'm sick, I feel like crap, I'm running slow, I've yet to do a decent long run, and I just haven't done a good job lately. During June, I was running the same mileage and doing especially well on the fast stuff. There WILL be a reversion to my earlier training in the near future, next week in part, the following week in full, health depending.

Part of me can't help but start to wonder if maybe the 37 minute 10k Tim Smith is the real one after all...
