I had set a goal for myself to run at least a mile for a certain number of consecutive days. I was feeling pretty beat up and decided to forgo the goal and rest. In the end, it seems to have paid off and a lot of the small aches and pains have subsided, and I seem to be progressing toward getting some sort of fitness back.
Yesterday, I knocked out three hours on the trails. It wasn't easy, but I toughed it out. My allergies have gotten so bad that its hard for me to breath when I heart rate elevates (ie. i go up a hill), so it pretty much relegated me to walking up most of the bigger hills. Nevertheless, I made it through the run and actually feel pretty good today, aside from being congested and sneezing every three seconds.
I still have two more long runs and one semi-long run before Austin. I have no expectation of posting even a decent time, but I should have the miles in my legs to get through the race without killing myself. The race will get me my qualifier for Comrades with is all I need out of it.
