Mercer Homecoming
This week was homecoming at Mercer. Of course, I was off for 3 days lounging around the house with Mackenzie, but since I signed up to run the 5K this morning, I decided to give it a shot. What the #@%& was I thinking? It was 25 degrees outside for the start of the race. I pretty much had no physical activity (training) this week. I don’t have cold weather running apparel. I currently have a sinus headache/couch/etc.
How did I do? I got my first DNF. That’s a big Did Not Finish. 3 weeks ago I get 3rd place for my age group in a 10K, but this morning I couldn’t even finish half of a 5K. Very depressing. The weather was beyond miserable and every step on the pavement caused my head to throb. When I got to a point along the course close to my car, I just left.
I did return with my family for the Georgia Tech vs. Mercer basketball game. This was my first college basketball game ever and I enjoyed it. Mercer was ahead until 14 seconds before the game ended and then Tech ended up tying up the game and winning in overtime. Again, I enjoyed it, but I wouldn’t recommend going to a basketball game with a throbbing headache.
Hopefully the headache will be gone tomorrow!
