i was fried today. half the team is sick. literally. me too, some kind of sore throat wheezy lung thing. i knew i had no chance running w/ the varsity, so i ran w/ the varsity girls... on a different track...
4:15, 4:06, 4:00, 4:00...
only one girl was able to run more than 2, that was faster than the JV boy runners, but still. i was wheezing. when my form went to hell, my lungs turned into some kind of broken vacuumn cleaner.
the course was significantly longer: the guy who ran 2:55 for his fastest last week, running 6, only ran 5, w/ 3:30 as his fastest time... so not a complete debacle... but all things considered (sick, hammy) did fine. hammy was significantly better than even yesterday, but there is no way i could have shaved off the 15 seconds i needed to shave to 'move up' today... c'est la vie.
sun don't shine on the same dog's butt everyday.
yesterday (tuesday) 25 miles of biking, hit tennis balls for a while, core workout, 3 hours of juggling.
monday, 4.3 mile run, 45 minutes of tennis, 15 miles of biking
sunday, uh, 20 plus miles of biking, 30 minutes of roller skiing, 2 games of limply (hammy) frisbee...
saturday, 5 mile run at the site of the race (and probably, point zero of infection, at least, the crowded bus ride)... but i'm no epidemiologist. could have gotten it weeks ago.
friday, ok, i see i'm overlapping...
school still hard, 10-12 hour days, but in good news, due to a grant, i look to be getting a laptop in the next couple months: it's hard to go back into the school at 6 pm after school and coaching and enter grades: this way, i can bring it home and accomplish a few things at the house...
ate... 8 pieces of fruit, sandwich, raisin bran, soup, salad... couple beers, just for the carbs, of course.
