What a day for a race!! I woke up this morning to a torrential downpour, but I decided to head out anyway for the race because my mileage last week was lacking due to my cold, which I think is a virus I can't shake, and the rain. Drew and Laura skipped out on the race, so it was just Michael and me. It rained the entire time, which was not too terribly bad - at least it wasn't humid. This virus needs to hurry up and pass on through me because I gagged on snot quite a few times and I had to keep checking over my shoulder to make sure I wasn't blowing my nose on anyone. I sure was a site to behold during the race!! My time ended up at 57:09, which is about a 9:11 pace and considering all the circumstances, I'm fine with that. I'll try to pick it up for the second 10K in two weeks.
So it's a new week for me and I've got 6.2 in the books so far. I'm going to run 4-6 miles about three nights this week, then Laura and I are going for 24 on Saturday. The Stumpjump is I think only 27 days away!!! Time to dig in and get it done!!
Happy running!
