30 Minutes:
Now that we've finished racing and things have settled down I'm coming back and finishing up blogging for the past few days. First off, I've got to say I'm overly excited to be back for good this time. The last month has been the hardest one yet. I'd finally given up on trying to stay in shape whatsoever through running ,so I'd done some biking and other work to at least do something. I still haven't had soda since April which is awesome cause I want to keep that going for track, and my cut down on sugar has still been working, so I'm glad I've kept that up. Still, I'm out of shape, but it'll be good for getting back into things.
When we got to the hotel I was feeling pretty rough. My fever and cough has still been going, but I came so I wanted to run.
The city was pretty fun to run around. It reminded me a lot of last year because of all of the trains and the route we ran. I was not feeling to great on the run. I almost fell behind for a minute after flipping but then reminded myself that I would feel just as bad in the race and would have just as much trouble keeping up then if I let myself slack at all now. I was able to hang on and make it back to the hotel. By then I was burning up pretty bad, but above all I was really happy to just finally be with my team again out having fun. Also, I've been really happy considering my leg did not hurt once while out on the run. This run was a definite success.
