some anti-AOWN activities today: weed killer around the landscaping, and Critter Ridder under the front steps. Trying to convince the ground hog to find somewhere else to live. Hope it works.

nice and easy at PNS after work. Feeling better, but still have to blow my nose every other minute.

Feeling worse today. Mostly because I'm back at work :( Work has been pretty stressful lately, which I suspect is what led to me getting sick in the first place.

Relays at ROC. I was determined to do my best for the team this year. In the past, I have dropped us several spots after my leg; my goal was to drop 2 places or less. I loaded up on cold meds, and decided to go for it. After all, what did I have to lose?

My winter training paid off. I was able to keep up a steady slow jog the whole way! I did walk about 4 steps as I needed to double check the map, but that's it. It definitely helped that this was an easy yellow course on flat terrrain (except for one leg). I ran a clean race. Never performed so well in a relay before, so I was very happy.

I had forgotten to start my watch, so I had no idea of my time. When I downloaded, I was shocked. Sub 8 min/k! A first for me, even on sprint courses. Even better, I managed to pull us UP one place in the overall standings. Yeah!

Everyone on the team had good runs this year, which made it even more fun.

Consistency 9.8, time lost 20.3
