Well, I'm home from school this whole week having contracted Covid. I have to confess that I have felt pretty haughty about my ability to avoid this virus so maybe this is my comeuppance? Both my kids have it too but Ann has, so far, avoided it. So the vaccine is 25% effective in our family.
But I feel good enough to do some easy running. The past weekend was rough and I felt horrible on Saturday. As well as I feel today I expect to be mostly without symptoms tomorrow. So maybe the vaccine is at least good for that.

Apparently Alta High has the highest numbers of Covid in the state so we're doing "test to stay' tomorrow. We have a mask mandate in Salt Lake County but parents are allowed to opt their kids out of it so only about half are complying. Remind me to look up "mandate" in the dictionary.

| PM: 7.25 miles in The Gully. Minimal snow/ice which was nice (for running anyway)
The past 2 weeks vague feeling of unease began to subside a little today. School is being uncertain with 20% of Alta students having this virus that's been going around. The Jazz have lost 4 straight as well so the universe is a bit out of line...

SLTC Winter 5k (3.11 Miles) 00:20:23, Place overall: 39, Place in age division: 1 | | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Total Distance | | 5.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 3.11 | 8.11 |
| Heading out to Saltair now for the SLTC Winter 5k... Should be interesting. I actually have a gut and my legs are slightly sore from my 4 mile run yesterday.. But I'm planning on using the race as a mental and physical springboard to greater things.
...Ran 20:23. No watch. Won my age group, saw several old friends, warmed up and cooled down with my Alta High colleague Sandy White. Enjoyed the post-race coffee and Great Harvest bread.
The 10K is in three weeks instead of the usual two so I have more time to drop a couple pounds and gain some fitness. I'm tempted to say my goal is to run faster per mile for 10k than I did today.

| Late AM: 9.3 miles on the Pipeline Trail. It was a combo of snow, ice, mud, and dirt.
Came home and researched the life of former Florida senator George Smathers who is figuring prominantly in the volume of Caro's LBJ biography I'm reading now.
