Nothing big or exciting today, just a couple miles during lunch and a couple mile after. We put on our home invitational today, and four other schools came (Box Elder, Emery, Clearfield, and Roy). Before the race we had a mile race for 6-8 grade kids in the school district, we call it the Golden Spike mile. It is similar to the Wellsville Mile, for all of my Cache Valley buddies. I ran the course out a couple of times during lunch to get it as close to a mile as possible.
The meet went really well, and our kids ran good. I did get a couple more miles in but nothing serious. I mostly got stuck starting races, doing results, and getting awards together. Our JV girls and boys stepped it up and actually won their meets for the first time this year. Our varsity boys kicked some trash, we took the 1,2, 7,9,10 spots. But we ran the varsity boys with the girls as a tag team relay, and our girls didn't do as hot. Box Elder ended up with the fastest five teams, and we were second. It was fun though, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I was glad it went well since I did a lot of the race organization.
I am glad for the weekend. Tomorrow I will try to get 12-13 miles in with some tempo. I am kind of scared to run St. George in one week after I have had pneumonia. I feel tons better, but I still have have junk and some infection in my lungs. It makes it so I cough if I run hard, and I get short of breath. I am getting stronger though, and hope it clears out by next week.
