Well i havent posted in a while. As i was reminded yesterday haha. I have been standardly sick for approcx 10 days- the normal progression- fever/then runny nose/then cough. I also identified a fourth stage in between runny nose and cough its like a lull where the symptoms are less and i think im already getting better after like 4 days or so but really i sort of have 4-5 or so days to go. But at least it seems like im mostly better.
One thing is that its annoying that im posting now because it means that i was lazy?/paranoid/smart/wimpy in that i could be driving to gerry's race right now and then running in it. But im not- I could have made it timewise thanks to daylight savings mainly heh but i dont feel like killing myself(and mainly limping around for 3 days) to run a mediocre race that im not prepared for. Ugh heh.
Speaking of that my foot is getting better which is nice. For how long this will continue only the shadow knows but for now at least its good. I did do one light workout with TT last week- 10x400 in 78-80 during his 4x2400 workout heh. I wish i could have done at least like 1000s or 1200s at that pace but not after being sick hmph. Oh well. Otherwise I ran 5 days last week with some relatively stinky mileage prob like a little under 30(i have it upstairs obv but i dont feel like looking)
I suppose i have missed both counties and regionals on this report also- counties was fair as both laura and ashley had not great races but at least they made it. Erika and esp cheyenne did very well and merritt had a PR which obv she wasnt overly happy with. hmph. Michael was quite happy as he broke 18 and its hard to remember- ah jeff did quite well and oscar was standardly solid- he is actually quite a good racer im just thinking of it right now. 6th for girls behind towson and 8th for boys is low meh but we ran pretty well- actually some of the other teams just ran well.
Regionals was good the boys were almost assured of making it with 7 teams going to states(which obv we didnt know for sure until the coaches meeting hmph). Michael and sterling got out aggresively which is fine then they died a little bit in the last mile- but still good sterling was 1742 i thin and michael 46. Keenan had an awesome race and was our 5th guy with a 1914. he could be the michael next year hopefully. Oscar and Scott were both solid with high 18s. All that added up to 6th place- ahead of parkville but behind bel air who we need to beat at states. Hopefully the boys will not be way in the back teamwise- at least aim or top 15 or so maybe(i have to look at it maye after I finish this typing)
Girls were more nerve wracking as there were only 5 teams going which meant we had to beat Towson. First mile was quite good- really a little too fast for all of them given current fitness- but of course 90% of the girls in the race do the same thing heh. Still M was 615 and A+l were 618- that is def getting there! Erika was 647 i think. Even at that point things were looking very good as we had 3 in front of towsons #1 and erika in front of their 2 and Cheyenne and Rachel were gaining on two packs of 3. I think at some point in the second mile those two were in front of at leat 5 of those girls. Those two died a lot in the last mile but luckily there were few points back there- they did a good job of keeping it close but all the towsons did pass them back oh well. Laura had a very good race given her missing about 10 days in the middle- Ashley and Merritt were passing back and forth and then ash sped the last 400 and merritt got stuck. she just needs to learn to be more confident in the last part of the race. So overall we fairly comfortably made it actually it was about a 20 point margin. Gil showed some good sportsmanship by coming up to congratulate us after- too bad 6 teams couldnt go but if it was 5 obv we needed to be in the top 5.
Now we have to figure out who we need to beat on saturday. Last year 14th girls and 20th boys. With the sucky 3a south that makes things easier in terms of getting higher- the first goal is just to beat last year's placing obv. Possibly top 10 for girl which was the goal at the beginning i think and would be very good. It depends a lot in thie one on cheyenne- i will tell her just to stick with erika even at the beginning- as long as we can get her ankle to be ok that might work out. For boys top 15? as i said- we'll see.
Ok now i will watch new york marathon. Oh good job to allison dont worry you are getting faster!
