I was feeling a fever coming on last night, but got a lot of sleep and felt much better today. I bummed a ride with Josse to the race. We met up with Sasha, Steve, Adam, and Adam's friend and warmed up for three miles. It was probably longer than everyone wanted but no one was paying attention until we were out a mile and a half. I was not in racing form today, in any way, so I ran with Josse during the race. She took off pretty good, maybe too good because we faded as time went on. I tried to just encourage her and not bug her too much. She was tired but hung in there pretty good. Toward the end I could see Brent coming up on us and I could also see Sasha and Steve coming back to run with people. I told Josse that she couldn't let Brent catch her or Sasha would run her in. That seemed to motivate her enough to hang in there.:) We got in just under 1:06:00. We cooled down for a couple of miles, some with Brent. Everyone seemed to have a good race for the most part. Josse scrapped my achilles after, ouch! It seemed to help a lot though and feels pretty good now. Bummed a ride home with Sasha after the race. I was glad I went and ran with Josse, otherwise I probably wouldn't have run today. (Omni- 349)
