I hit my 6 mile run goal on Sunday night. It was supposed to be a 5.75 mile run, but I was feeling good and decided to just finish it off. I am going to continue running three times a week, but I'm going to have two short runs (2 miles-ish) and then one longer run (4-6 miles).
The pull-ups are still continuing at work. I've gotten up to 7 for a max. During the day I max out the first one and then go back throughout the day taking off one pull-up every time until I get down to 1. Today should have 28 pull-ups total. Next week I will work on the push-ups again since I won't be up at work.

Back to the grind
I ran for the first time in a week last night. I was shooting for 5.25 miles since I last did a little over 5. Before I walked out the door, I was thinking that I would be happy if I made it 3 miles before walking. I was pretty sure that my lungs would give out somewhere in there.
So I stepped out the door in the 37 degree night with Live at Wembley by Queen in my ears and proceeded to run my 5.25 miles in about an hour and 4 minutes. It went much better than I had expected, and the cold didn't bother me all that much. It was 35 when I got home. I jumped in the shower with some lukewarm water that really stung my hands and was feeling nice and warm after about 10 minutes.
One of the guys at work padded the cable ladder at work so we can do pull-ups on it. I have managed to do 20 on Monday and Tuesday and then about 10 today.

The flu, the flu....
You are a bitch. You made my throat a little bit sore this past Tuesday and then came for a full on visit on Wednesday. I headed to the doctor, was diagnosed, and got my tamiflu that afternoon. I have to say that stuff is pretty amazing. Yesterday I was back to feeling pretty normal, and today is even better.
I'm pretty sure this has knocked me back quite a bit on running though. I was so close to the 6 mile goal, and I probably won't be able to run until Monday or Tuesday of next week. I have high hopes of picking up where I left off, but I'm sure that reality will bite me in the butt during that run.
