I sure hope they are recovered well enough for my 100k this coming Saturday

 Holy sh!t.

I just happy to run another 50 miles this week.

Wow, Pam. Unreal. Congrats on a great effort. Try not to to take our team name so literally.

 +1!

Great job on a heck of a lot of running, Pam, and sorry about the sicknesses. Hope you recover well and find yourself able to look back on it with pride.

My 5K was decidedly short; I don't expect to break 18 on a real 5K. However, it was a great race, and I certainly enjoyed it. The running was very much like my last 5K -- I ran with my buddy Joe and we tried to chase down our buddy DR, but unlike the last time, this time I did not succeed in catching him -- and I'm quite fine with that.

Kim, I've seen kids hurl at cross-country 5Ks -- it seems not that uncommon, actually. It's a lot of stress compressed into a very high intensity race, I think. That said, sorry about the stomach issues, and hope you can avoid them next time, now that you have some important relevant diet experience...
