Figure 8 trail run plus north loop and new trail.  No issues with the black hole on this mid morning run - interesting.  Struggled a bit from 4.5 to 5.5 miles, but then finished strong in the new trail portion - I likes the single track twisty stuff.

Could only muster a half mile walk late in the day.  Spent the 12 hrs from 6am to 6pm either atop or afore the porcelain throne with some sort of truly nasty bug.  Finally feeling alive again at 11pm.  Hopefully sleep will come easily and last long.

So the digestive disease specialist says bacterial gastroenteritis - also known as really nasty stomach bug... either that, or ischemic colitis or ulcerative colitis or colon cancer - definitely my new favorite doctor.  She did say I could run tomorrow at least, as long as I have no pain.  I'm planning on having no pain and getting in a couple miles - this is ridiculous.

Best two mile run/walk I've ever had - heh.  I'm no high milage or streak runner kinda guy, but that 4 days of zeroes is the longest I've gone without running since blowing out my knee five years ago.  If I had eaten about half a bagel beforehand, I think I could have gone longer or thrown in less walking - actually felt pretty good.  Back at it.

Probably more than 1.5 total while photographing and encouraging runners between the two XC meets I attended today, but that'll work.  Lisa and I headed out early to attend the girls and JV boys meet in Marianna - they did well.  We then jumped back on I-10 to continue west to Mobile for the boys varsity meet in the evening.

Once again, to the shock of the team, coach was proven right in taking them to this out of town big time meet for some distraction and early good competition.  Travis had expressed concern that the boys, who have shown waning motivation as summer ended, would fold under pressure and come back with their tails 'tween their legs.  Quite to the contrary, they finished 3rd with a team average 17:31, top five all under 18 and a 1-5 split of 30 seconds - unheard of for our team over the last 4-5 years.  Trav was a little disappointed that he didn't get closer to 17 flat (ran 17:15, 21st overall and 1st on the squad), but was pleased with the team performance.  Coach told them he expected at least 40-60 seconds drop from each of them by State in mid Nov, and that they should start expecting more from themselves and should start practicing and racing more confidently.
