Woke up and felt like I had been hit by a truck.  My entire body is achy.  Still managed to drag myself to the gym to see if that would help.  Managed a pretty decent workout on the elliptical and a mile on the treadmill.  On the way to work I bought a 30 pack of Emergen-C and now I am pounding water.

Just went to a meeting that lasted 20 minutes and I swear it took at least 40.  In a fog.

B.J. Christensen posted this article on FB.  I generally agree but what this study doesn't explain is which is more efficient for people who don't already run on their forefoot. "The fact that all these runners were already forefoot strikes suggests that none of them were likely overstriding, which would make them less likely to benefit from barefoot running."

Barefoot Versus Running Shoes: Which Is (Surprisingly) More Efficient?

Mix the Emergen-C w/ diet dew - that will kill every germ in your body! :-)

I am not going to do the Emig Canyon run tomorrow. I don't want to risk slippery roads up there. I think instead I'm going to do a half easy / half tempo long run, starting a little later though. I'm not sure how you're feeling and if you'd be up for that. If you do want to do that instead let me know. I'm guessing Walter's group is still doing the emigration run.

I will try that later today when I take my 3rd Emergen C. Surprisingly exercise makes me feel more normal so I think I will still try to do the emigration run (assuming I don't get worse) but take it fairly easy. If it ends up being cancelled than I would be interested in joining you for half of your run.
