revel run 15k
today i feel better for the first time. i slept well last night. i did not have that nagging febrile or sub-febrile state. when i had that, i was miserable. all kinds of thoughts go through your mind: immune system problems, cancer, liver disorders, etc. it's a big nuisance to go through something like this. in addition, many things are happening.
corina does not answer my emails, i am not sure how or if she got the loan for last semester (spring 2007-2008).
the market is tough and i don't see it coming back soon. i have calls sold against most of the stocks i own, but still it's a tough market, i am solidly in the negative territory for the year, and pretty much sure i will be under for the year for the first time since i started trading. the nagging issue is that i cannot short freely.
flori, as usual, was an angel, she cared for me, she cleaned the house and did all she could to make this pass. in addition, she got first place in 5k in 40-44 yo category, she really made me proud.
regarding my health issues, i myself created a perfect storm:
-i ate a raw food diet, mostly vegan
-i got a supplement that lowered my blood sugar level in the morning of the race
-i drank no water during the race
-i ate no sugar gel or raisins during the race
-i ran dressed with a long-sleeved shirt and i overheated (usually i ran bare chested and it was pretty hot outside that day)
in addition, i had some kind of virus a few days before the race, which gave me fever, but i was able to shake it off in one day. however, it seems some of it was left in my body, otherwise i cannot explain the violently negative reaction i had by the end of the race. it is so shocking to think back and realize that you cannot remember crossing the finish line, all i remember was that i could not keep still and felt like i could not control my body. scary... now i understand how terrible is for diabetics when they go though a hypoglycemic episode.
all in all, i was "dead" at the end of the race, flori called 911, it was embarrassing. now it nags me that i could have gotten a much better time, or at least i could have been in the top 10 instead of being the 19th with a time of 1:04:40 in the 15k race. anyway, i know it sounds like bad testosterone, but i am angry at myself, i could have gotten there in under one hour, or at least in the time i got but without being spent at the end. i am still not a professional when it comes with running preps.
a lot of people passed me in the last 2 miles or so. i figured out something was wrong with me probably by the race half.
