cat scratch again sigh/Sweet Air

So i got the cat scratch as i said in the previous post. however as of now it doesnt seem too bad. seems to be getting better after only 4-5 days hopefully i have some good antibodies now- i guess well see. yesterday was the worst day prob- or so far at least def. And it wasnt really that bad my arm was just burning for a little bit.

So the last few days-

Sun- Ran at Sweet Air- no wu as usual(no wd either heh)- ran w stas,greg lang,charles powell at moderate pace for 1.5ish miles. I knew i could climb better then greg and didnt even really pick it up he just slowed down on one of the climbs by the houses. so stas took the lead and pulled away- ran to first stream crossing in second. i climbed the long climb after the stream like crap i was going at the pace of a dying turtle- so charles was slowly reeling me in all the way to the second stream. after that he was right behind me and i told to go ahead if he wanted cuz i was climbing like shit(which i was). But he said hed stay behind and apparantly was tired or i managed to pick it up because i pulled back away from him over the last two miles. time was 45:52 which is not bad. 30 sec slower than last year(if last years time was accurate) and a minute slower than 3 years ago- not bad considering 3 years ago i was coming off of a good spring. fun and difficult heh- also i think i was tired from the days before.

Mon- Ran at mcd with Michael and Anna- .5 wu then a short 4 tempo 800 on track short 3 for course and 700 on track. It was super hot for this run and we ran at 4:00 lol. They both did well and i did the whole thing i felt ok legs just tired breathing obv fine it was like 630 pace.

Tue- AM Ran at franklin w viki and sierra and dan. 3 miles total at various times with various people. viki did about 2.5 sierra did 2 and dan and ash did 3x4x100 on the turf in 16-17ish. Sierra did her second mile in ? under 8 i was timing something else but we did a lap in the middle in 2:00 and then a 200 in 47 as she sped up. I wish we could get her allergies fixed!

PM- Ran w anna at LRes trails. Hopefully this was the worst ill feel w the cat scratch thing. It wasnt horrible - the first 35 minutes were fine the last 5+ not so good. Really i just felt bad after we stopped after the climb back to the car she did 3-4 more minutes and i was like nope thats enough for me. My arm was burning as i said but not bad.

Wed- Ran at ORidge. Moderate run pob in low 7s for pace maybe faster sometimes on flat parts. Luckily it rained a little in midday and was cloudy or i would have had more of a hard time. did a loop on top plus some extra and then the first half of the course(more or less heh). 60:44 total- today was much better than yesterday i felt the same at the end(not great) but it was 15min father and significantly faster. Hopefully easy tom and friday!

Oh ash and dan did 6 200s this am and sierra hurdled and did 2 200s. Ash did 38,38,31,41,38,31. sierra did 36,31. she already seems more comfortable with the 8 steps to the first one. ash is ridiculous with her moaning and groaning lol but shes doing a good job and shows up constantly.

The pm prac was fairly good a lot of the good people are away. Dakota looked good too bad hes graduated also. Matt had a good run 8 wood chip loops in 30:15 dakota was 28:45. oscar was a new freshman who looked pretty good. we'll see.

oh i might have drank the most water ever post run today- almost 2 liters(prob1.5) in like 2 min heh :/
