Losing the sprint
Sadly my season will not end on a 3 race streak. This week was a pretty poor one, running wise. I managed only 31 miles total. I lost in a sprint to the finish today and I managed to pick up a cold to boot. Hopefully the cold will pass quickly, but I'd rather have it now than next weekend at districts or the week after at state.
My boys team looked really good last week in the league championships. We ended up losing by 1 point, but that was without our #1 or #6 running. Right now I am pretty confident that both the boys and girls will qualify for state, which always makes it more fun for me. They each need a top 4 finish to qualify. The boys are ranked 5th and the girls are ranked 1st or 2nd depending on who you ask.
Hopefully I'll get back on track with my running this week. Its getting tougher as the weather changes and its dark more. My goal is to keep running everyday and put in mileage as time allows. In any case I feel prety healthy, except for the cold, and that's always a blessing.
Sunday: 6.5 miles, 17:44 for 5K race, 8:44-9:00.
Saturday: 2 miles, great bean race
Friday: 2.5 AM, 4.5 PM - Upper-Upper to Upper
Thursday: 2 miles at League Championships
Boys lost 31-32, girls won with 15, no other complete teams
