4 easy, 7:23 avg. I caught covid after all. Started feeling sick last Friday and then tested positive Saturday. I was feeling pretty good today so attempted a short run. All systems feel surprisingly ok.

12 easy, 6:59 avg. Felt absolutely great. I figured I'd hold off on any workouts till next week, but I think I'll try a small workout tomorrow and see how it goes.

Guess it was a bad idea to try the workout today. I did a full warmup and rolled into a 5x3min set with the idea it would be low risk. Pulled my left hammy on #4 about 5 miles from the house. I hobble-jogged 2 miles before it completely quit and I had to walk from there. 

Paces were 5:45, 5:40, 5:37 leading up to the pull, and I felt pretty good.

Tried a short run, but the hammy isn't ready. I'm guessing 1-2 weeks off before I can run again. Super bummed.

Got off my duff to get on the bike. I hate biking in the garage. But I got 54 mins in. It's something, at least.

4 miles run, 8:28 avg. Testing out the hammy, but it's not quite 100%. It tightened up midway and I slowed to 9:30 pace for the last 1.5.

1 hour bike with 6 x 3:00 @ Threshold (1:00 rests) followed by 2 miles running @ ~8:00 pace. Hammy still feels a little sore.
