Post-sectionals ==> Regionals

Focusing on the future and staying positive seemed to do the trick for my club team (see my previous post). We recovered nicely and placed about where we ought to have placed at sectionals last weekend, thus qualifying for the south regional tournament. Everyone seems a bit more relaxed now. Good stuff.

For my part, just as I was ramping up my running schedule and feeling good about my fitness, my body conspired with some nasty bug to get me sick. I was sick prior to sectionals, and I'm again now post-sectionals. I've been trying to get adequate rest, but I keep going back to work too early, struggling through a half day or more of work, and then going home feeling terrible again. This weekend, I've vowed to get healthy, so I'm staying home, sleeping whenever my body will let me, and drinking lots of fluids. I'm not out of the woods yet, but I hope that I will be soon. I just hate being sick: it's the antithesis of living an active and energetic life. It makes me want to curl up in a ball of pessimism and curse the world, which is really unlike me. If you've spotted my energy, please direct it my way. My contact info can be found via the "my home page" link on the right side of this blog. ;)

Right, so in other news, there really isn't other news. :) Maybe more from me later, but don't hold your breath.
