Woke up at 6:00am, the amount of snow fell was
not as expected so I had very much no problem going to work, expect for not
getting good traction. About 10% of the employees were taking sick leave,
and about another 10% of people were coughing and sneezing. I was a bit worring about the situation but without doubt, my throat starting to hurt as
I was heading home. I went to bed around 11:00pm. |

Woke up at 6:00am, my body aches only a bit so I decided to participate the
road race. I ran 5k in 27:38. The course was at Novi Town Center, and had to
block off the whole section for the run. We had more than 700 people, but I
finished the race within the top 500, so I received a pint glass. Come home
around 10:30am with my body very cold from sweat, so I took a hot shower.
Headed to airport around got on the plane heading to Dallas, which was late
by one hour since nose wheels had to be changed. Another delay on the plane
to McAllen, but we get to wait the boarding until the game finished.
Arriving around 11:30pm, went to bed around midnight.
