In case you haven’t seen me, I’ve had a miserable week health-wise. Sore throat, major drainage, eyes feel like they’re going to pop out of my head…<br/><br/>I have a half marathon scheduled this weekend. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can do it. I’m still attending, and I may pace Erin or Caitlin, but I still have my doubts on that. This reminded me that I had canceled a 5K next weekend in order to make this week’s race more doable…<br/><br/>So I began thinking about that 5K last year. I was sick for it! As I recall, it was the exact same thing… So I took a look at <a href=”../index.php?loc=log” target=”_self”>my running log</a>. Yep, same thing, just a week later last year. Then I take a look at ’07… Yep, same thing, but two weeks later than this year… I think I’m on to something. Looks like I was fine in ’06, but my log is a bit bare in ’05. Regardless, I’ve got three years of data showing I have some sort of allergy around this time… That’s good enough for me.<br/><br/>So that’s that. Journals of some sort are cool. This is the first time my running log has provided me anything useful other than letting me know I’ve been getting a bunch faster.<br/><br/>I suppose I should no longer plan races from mid to late May in the future. I do think Caitlin and I’ll be racing <a href=”http://www.hometownfestival.org/” target=”_blank”>the 5K next weekend</a> though; if you’re out by Round Hill, stop by.<br/>
