Leaving for Fort Bragg, CA
Still not 100% but good enough to race 5k
Friday, March 16th, 2012
I am much better than I was but I am not a 100% yet. But I have 24 hours before the race. I have decided to race 5k instead of 10k however. I needed the distance but with a half marathon coming up next Sunday in Oakland, I don't want to push too much. I have only logged in 6.5 miles of walking for the week. This is the least amount of miles in years. But it would not have been smart to run "junk" miles this week. I am hoping to run something like 21:30...

Not feeling Well
Race Number 13 is Saturday in Fort Bragg, CA
Monday, March 12th, 2012
I woke up yesterday morning with a sore throat. The grandkids were sick on Friday. Some sort of flu. Today my body just aches all over. I certainly don't feel like racing under 7 minute pace right now. I don't usually like to take medicine but I need to knock this out right away. I was going to run with Christine Kennedy in the morning up at Rancho San Antonio but I am going to have to cancel this. I think I am just going to walk one mile with Mike later. What would I gain from running today?. This is why I include walking in "my streak."
I checked and the forecast is saying rain. The tempature is going to be about 40 degrees at the start. Cold considering how I am feeling right now. However, otherwise I like this temp. Just the rain and possible wind could slow me down. But I am following Dr JoAnn's advice. I am only thinking positive thoughts...but it is hard when you are not feeling well!!! Comments and Feedback
