Yucky--I came down the crud that everyone else seems to have. It's gross. Lots of coughing, headache, flu-y body ache, runny nose. I hope this goes away soon. I've been sleeping a lot, drinking fluids (though I could always drink more), consuming as much vitamin C as I can. I tend to eat a lot when I feel yucky too. Why oh why!

Fall Marathon--I'm trying to figure out what marathon to run this fall. I think I am still going to apply for the AF Marathon Team this fall, but I would have to experience a miracle at Ogden this year for them to even look at my application. Those women typically run 3:10 or faster. I qualified for the NYC Marathon (< 1:37 half marathon in 2009), there's Top of Utah up in Logan, Marine Corps (which opens on 2 March). Colin is moving to NM this fall, so there's Duke City Marathon (mid Oct) and New Mexico Marathon (early Sept). Lots of choices... Either way, I want to run ridiculously fast.

Random Stuff--I work with a GREAT group of people. We're all 1Lt's, we all have the same level of responsibility, and we all get along. But we are all really stressed about our jobs. We all feel like our main motivation is to work hard so we don't get in trouble. It's terrible. So we've been putting in 12-hr days, doing way more than we are supposed to be responsible for, and trying to take bullets for those who work under us. Needless to say, this has really put a damper on any kind of training we're all trying to do. It seems like we seek balance our whole lives, and it's rare when we actually achieve it. At least we're all on the same team, and we can work through it.
