Ran 6

walked 1 (trying to calibrate my sensor)

So started last Tuesday I have been really sick.  I caught a bad cold and it wiped me out. Today was the first day I felt like doing anything.  I must be cursed!!  Every time I decide to run a race something AWLAYS hinders by training!  I am getting really frustrated.  I am planning on running the Provo trail half marathon on the 7th.  I am not where I should be and so I will probably kill myself.  I am bound and determined to run this no matter what.  I may have to walk a lot but nothing is stopping me!!!!!

My run today was ok :].  I HATE the first 3 miles!!!  I was sucking wind.  I could not catch my breath.  Once I pass that 3 mile mark I am good.  It must my a mental thing.  My sensor was off too.  The first time I used it I thought I calibrated it right but I was unsure a little of the distance I ran.  I knew the exact total distance today and it was off by almost a mile!  So I came home and walked on the TM for a mile to calibrate it but I still think it is off.  I am not smart when it comes to gadgets.   I might do another mile later and try to figure this out.

I have to go to the dentist today!!  Not happy!  I have to have my old fillings taken out and replaced with new ones.  My fillings are the "old" ones and are starting to cause some problems.  Bring on the GAS!!!

Good luck at the dentist.

Provo River 1/2 is a beautiful run. I have done it 8 times. Probably won't this year, though. Lacking motivation!

Nice job on the 7. If you need gas, I have plenty of it. My wife and I just started this new diet...

Eww, Burt.

You got some good miles in. I hope you're feeling better now.

Good luck with the dentist. I hate dentists.
