Ugggghhhh... I hate sinus infections. If you get them on occasion you will know what I am talking about. If you do not get them... you are very lucky!
I ended up coming down with one Thursday and it has pretty much drained much of the energy from me over the past few days. Despite that, I still felt compelled to run a 4k cross country race today, the Golden Flyer Invitational - Alumni/Open 4k.
Drugged up with a dose of Sudafed that allowed me to breathe yet left me with a distinctly unpleasant dry mouth despite drinking countless bottles of water, I threw my self into the race. It could have been worse. Brad (a former teammate of mine) decided to run the race with a hangover following a night of partying.
I posted a time of 18:25 (pace of 7:22). It was an unseasonably hot day with the sky clouding over during the race and finally letting loose a solid downpour in a thunderstorm just as our race wrapped up. Given my bodily condition, I am glad I simply finished the race!
A group of about 5 alums went out for food and reminiscing after the race. It was nice to get together with former teammates I have not seen in quite a while.
So now I am feeling pretty dead tired right now. Somehow I need to find the energy to work on writing a manuscript for my boss concerning my research. With any luck, I will be a published scientific author within the next 6 months! :-)
I'll write more when my bateries are recharged and my health is restored.
