thud #2

2103 ended with a thud and 2014 seems to be starting that way.  I went to the Dr yesterday and found out I have an upper respiratory viral infection and was told by the Dr that I should definitely not run AT ALL this Saturday.  The way I still feel this morning at work I pretty much agree.  It would be pretty irresponsible for me to even run the 50k and risk any kind of relapse after taking 3days off work due to this illness.  170.00 buckaroos down the tubes too.  I've decided I'm not going to sign up ahead of time for races.  I (we've) lost too much money thru the years on lost entrance fees.  Joe's races are only 20.00 more for race day, not unreasonable at all.  Next on the horizon, looking forward to pacing Sam 60 miles at RR100 and Sam's 24hr on March 22.
