Its the morning of boston. Amost 4am. Hardly slept becaise I’m worried I have strep again. I can’t fucking believe it. My throat is very dry right now and it was slightly sore most of the day yesterday but in a different way.
I don’t know what to make of this. Not sure if I should even go to the start. Yet if this passes and winds up being nothing ill be pretty pissed at myself. Not sure which is worse at the moment. Dns, dnf?
Forget racing.

Update:
I managed a PR, 3:10:45. I’m extremely happy considering I wasn’t sure I’d even cross the finish line. The whole time throughout the race I kept going through bad patches and then pulling through. It mainly coincided with whenever the sun came out or got better when it went behind the clouds.
My throat is killing me. I popped some Tylenol to get through this. And again afterwards. Other than that, everything’s fine!
Race report will follow.

See!!!!!!! A PR after all that worrying!! Good job! Rest up and enjoy the accomplishment and bragging rights!!!!!!!! (this means you qualified to run it again next year, right?)
I saw your 5k split online before I had to go to work, the texting thing didn’t work so I JUST now found out your results. I got quite worried when I never got the first text alert on you (at 10K) but then I realized that I wasn’t getting them on any of my other friends either.
Can’t wait to hear all about it!
