| Awesome early morning run, again at Toubab Dialao. Almost no one out early in the morning except for some early rising fisherman and a few hardcore soccer players doing calesthenics on in the sand. Ran north along the beach until I was blocked by rocks, then returned. |

| Wonderful evening run on the beach at Toubab Dialao. It was so very nice to breath fresh air and be out of Dakar. And I think my feet really liked it.
There were several serious soccer games going on on the beach and I tried my best to run around them (getting refreshingly wet in the process) but I fear that I may have disturbed one or two nonetheless. It seems the locals there are less interested in visas, because I made no new friends, though I did get a call of "tu es belle" from a boy who could not have been older than 13. In training for Dakar, I suppose... |

| Ran to the Olympique for class. Made a "friend" along the way (again), and have decided that I need to make up a persona for these guys. Fake name, fake occupation, fake husband, the works. I could have fun with this... |

| Met Therese for a different class tonight. I didn't really like it that much, it wasn't as challenging as the other one, and I'm not really coordinated enough to enjoy it. |

| Egads, I don't remember the last time felt so miserable. Tossing and turning with fever and f'd up dreams the whole night. No running this morning, obviously. Off to the doctor. |

| Ran a little further south today on the corniche. Felt pretty good, and today is a holiday so there weren't too many cars on the road, which means less fumes. Unfortunately, the fumes usually mask the sewage smell, so I think it's maybe better with more cars. The mosques were blaring prayers all night, but I'm far enough between them that it wasn't a problem - it was actually the animals that kept me up last night.
Made a new "friend" today while running. Michel, a cook at a local snazzy restaurant, also a boxer, with moderate English speaking abiltiies. He chased me as I ran by because, apparently, he liked me and wanted to talk more. Man, if I were looking for a husband this would definitely be the way to go about finding one. Hate to tell them all that they aren't coming with me when I leave. |

| i was really dragging today, and the little things that connect my quad to my knee (tendons?) are bothering me from yesterday. i heard some guys on th side of th road yelling at me in wolof. I couldn't understand it but i'm positive that they were saying 'run toubab, run!' |
