This was not a good week.  I am still dealing with being sick and it's very annoying.  I shouldn't have raced but I was nervous about trying to run a fast mile next week at terrier with no races.  So even though I was still sick I decided to run the 800 thinking it would be a good workout.  The race ended up serving no purpose and wasn't a good workout.  From the gun I put myself in the back and didn't even try and race.  It was as if I was doing 1 long stride.  I was never running fast enough to actually get tight or tired.  The only thing wrong was I had an awful cough and couldn't breathe about 200m in.  The uml boys had a good tune up for BU next week with a few guys running 1:57 or faster.

Hope things will be better next time I post. Good luck all with this week of training.
