0 - Wasn't sure how I would get my run in before heading up to watch Ry run her race in Richfield. But with being sick it didn't matter - no run. Ry ran okay, but you could see the effects of her sickness on her. When she made a strong move to get into 2nd (a state qualifying position) at the beginning of the 2nd lap, she had nothing to dig to when a couple girls challenged her - she ended up 4th (just off 3rd) and with a much slower time than a few weeks ago. Her 2:42 would have gotten her to the next level, but it just wasn't meant to be today. She ran great though and really showed a lot of heart. Week was a bummer in the way that it ended. But you can't control getting sick other than trying to live a healthy, clean life. Goals for next week: Hopefully feel better, get my mileage up (kind of hit a bump in the road with the two zeroes finishing off this week), hopefully feel well enough and be recovered enough to get a good workout in on Tuesday. And XC starts! So that will be fun. |
