I was feeling pretty "icky" this morning (can't think of a better word to describe the feeling).  Thought about skipping the run but decided since yesterday's mileage was a little low that I needed to get out today.  Was only going to run 5 but after 3 miles I was feeling better and decided to stretch it to 7.  At one point there was a runner ahead that I decided to try to catch by a certain point.  It helped to have a target so I could push myself a little.

I am glad you are feeling better. I always run better with a target in front of me, I have even been known you yell at them when the stop and walk because then it is just too easy! :)

Glad you were able to push past the ickiness!!!

You are incredibly tough!

It always helps to have a target to chase. Meg was ahead of me yesterday at one point during my tempo run and I think I pushed a little too hard during that section trying to catch her.
