Blech
I either have some kind of head cold, or some killer allergy thing going on. I’m taking my Allegra, dammit. Yes, I missed one day, but it really can’t be that, can it? *shakes fist*
I went to the gym anyway. It’s not like I feel HORRIBLE, but I feel low energy. I lifted weights, but didn’t get in a run. Nothing. I just didn’t have the juice. Mind you, I did fine. I upped my bench even more, so that I’m using two 60 pound dumbells for my dumbell bench and I’m doing all kinds of mad things for my lunges, my shoulder press, etc. I feel powerful, but without much juice. Make sense?
So, blech. I’ve got a race Sunday. 9 miles. I’ll run it unless I feel deathly ill. Doesn’t make sense to shut down camp for a weird head fog. At least not yet.

It all started when I was six. I thought I MUST be a superhero. I mean… Oh. Wait.
The race is the 7th Annual Groton Town Forest Trail Races. From their website:
The courses are well marked, tour the scenic Groton Town Forest, and have no road crossings. They are a combination of narrow dirt roads and winding single lane trails, with lots of roots, rocks, leaves, uphills, and downhills. The hills are not large (though some are steep) but they offer a distinct challenge. Doesn’t sound killer, but will be a nice little pluck during my supposed taper phase.
I bet you caught it from me. Do you think you can catch a cold over the internet? Or maybe it’s just because the state of Massachusetts is a serious biohazard zone right now, what with this cold that’s going around. Have you noticed that EVERYBODY is sick?
Anyways. Good luck shaking it and good luck on your race!
Good luck this weekend, Chris! What kind of race is it - trail or road? Hilly or flat? C’mon, you know we crave the innermost details of your life…
Your running life, at least. Not all that other stuff. I mean, what you choose to do on your own time is your own affair. Even that. No, we don’t need to know about that. Just the running stuff.
