Somewhat Lucky....

Late last night my stomach was upset, eventually resulting is nausea, vomiting, and a low-grade fever. I was restless most of the night, but the fever and vomiting subsided after a couple hours.

Today has been par for the last couple days. 1-10 score grading;
Back pain, 4
Headache/congestion, 6
Cough, 8

I went for a walk mid-day. It was unseasonably warm (72-ish). Houston weather is so chaotic; weather forecast is reporting a high of 37 in two days. Walk was otherwise uneventful.

Walk:
2.36 miles
38:54
16:29 pace

I mustered up enough energy to attend the Woodlands Marathon kick-off party. The online invitation suggested everyone bring five can goods for a chance to win an entry into the 2012 race. As Andrea and I turned in our can goods, we noticed very few people had brought any food. The low numbers turned out GREAT for me, because I won a race entry. That’s the second entry in a month. Before winning I registered for the full marathon and was probably one of the first 10 people. I’m curious to see what my number will be. Now I need some luck to get healthy and start training!

I enjoyed spending time with friends Jon, Leanne, and Karen. Even though we aren’t friends, I meet Ryan and Sarah Hall. I was a bit star struck and didn’t know what to say other than, “Nice to meet you”.
