Had a great run today. Ran my Boston prep route w/ elmore extention. I felt really good, but had to work hard because snow was a little soft. It was all good though and nice to run it all outside. Pretty good week considering I was fighting a stomach bug since monday. Felt good starting friday. School starts back up tomorrow, so it's all about time management and not stressing the little stuff until wrestling is over.

I didn't feel good at all running. Ran my route along side the truckee river. Beautiful and sunny, but I was tired from the last few days. I also didn't really realize that it's 4,600 ft elevation. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. I just ran out of time to get my 17 miler, but I'm still happy I was able to run while down in Reno for wrestling.
