New Year's Day!  It's a shame, but I unfortunately did NOT start the year off on the right foot.  Drove back to Natalie's place from Kinsy's wedding.  Pretty fun New Year's Eve.

Quick run in Delaware after getting back from Natalie's.  Drove up to Groton afterwards.  Long travel day!

Ran in Groton.  S. Main loop.

Woke up feeling pretty crappy.  Was considering Barton Hall time trial 800 but didn't make it.  Sore throat came on throughout the day and apparently set up shop.

Day number four of the wicked sore throat.  Went to the doctor for a strep test today and got some useless cold meds.  Test back Friday--probably won't race this week.

First run in a week.  The throat is still sort of sore, but now I'm into more flu-like Sx.  What a drag!

Race at SU off of virtually nothing.  The good news is that I'm still under 2 minutes on a track like Manley.  The bad news is that I'm not capable of much more right now given the high effort.  I also lost the race, which of course is never a good thing.  All about race maintenance til June!  Keep the track close!

Good work!

I figured I'd post an update since I haven't in a while.  The running has been pretty much back-burner to school recently, maybe 10-20 mpw on 2-3 runs--no surprises there.  The plan stays the same as far as June.  I did run another race at Valentine's in Boston (1:58), so that was a fun surprise.
