This wasn't a bad run. I was feeling periodically feverish, but I managed to just ignore it and hold my pace pretty well. I was 9:36 at the first mile and 18:41 at the second (there were no other clear mile markers for the 10K), so I know I was cruising at the beginning. I started to fail after three miles, though, and needed to walk a few times. The last mile or so was really bad - I was starting to space out and dragging. I wanted to get in under an hour, and was outside the stadium around :58, so I kicked it into gear and really started pushing it, but I kicked in too soon and died while going around the warning track - I almost just walked to the finish - but got a fourth (fifth?) wind down the third base line and finished very hard. Nearly passed out afterward, though. Took me a good half hour of sitting and eating to get my bearings back.

Not be sick. Honestly, I think I ran an awesome race, but I was not physically capable of pushing any harder today. I felt feverish skin-crawling come back several times during the race, so I know it was affecting me. I could tell that my legs were in really great shape, though, and without those other stresses I could have gone a lot faster without much strain.

Being sick. I've only been running a low fever, but I haven't been able to shake it. Being on campus with it twice this week, and running all my other errands, didn't help. I didn't sleep that well last night because if it either. If I were healthier today, I would have knocked this out of the park.
