A Race and Other Stuff

I actually ran a race recently and was happy with my time. The Ten for Texas was held later this year due to the hurricane. Last year I ran slower but placed better and this year the reverse happened. I ran a 1:10 and placed 4th in my age group this is a two minute PR for me so I can't really complain. There were lots of fast girls there so I knew I had some work to do. Erin sped by at mile 4 looking great and I never saw her again until I crossed the finish. Some of the others I was able to reel back in all the way to the last mile. Anyway it was a good race with lots of food after. On Tuesday I started feeling yucky and went to bed at 3 in the afternoon. Wednesday I went to the doctor and found out I had strep throat and then went straight home to bed again. This morning I felt much better but my throat still hurts. I am thinking more rest is in order this afternoon. I hope I can still do a long run this weekend, I need at least 17 miles.
