It was suppose to be 14, but I got super dizzy and almost passed out a few times.  My husband was aiding me (with water and food), so the next time I passed him and the truck, I stopped.  I don't know what happened when I hit mile 10, but my body was not happy.  I feel great now though. ha ha!

My marathon is less than 4 weeks away and I'm getting nervous.

Today was the first time I ever pulled the girls in the trailor.  Now I understand why Brandon says it is harder than it looks.  It's not that it's hard all the time, but when you hit bumps, it's like you get pulled back all the sudden.  It's definitely an interesting experience.

I pushed my girls, double stroller and all, for the first time in a few months.  Can I say that it's more exhausting to do that then to run the 14 miles.  Seriously!

Feeling good.  I need to practice eating while running and thought I'd try that today, but my little little one is really sick, so I never made it to the store to get some goodies.  With it only being 10 miles, I didn't need the food, but I need to practice.  Saturday is my 20 mile run, so I'll be packing stuff with me then. 

any suggestions?

It was grrrrrrreat!  My girlfriend and I started at my house, ran to usery pass, down usery pass, to bush highway, up bush highway, and back to my house.  I will admitt, I hit a wall after the steep climb at the end of bush highway.  That was exhausting.  But, I finished!  And I didn't get sick at all afterwards.  I took a shower and hung out with my family for the rest of the day.  I'm feeling really good about it and am ready to sign up for the marathon.  woo hoo!!!

It's B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. out today.  I love it!  And running with my girls was ideal today.  Everyone was in such a great mood!!!  (thank goodness).  Running with them is such a workout.  I always feel so ssslllooowww...  but my muscles were happy for the workout. :o)

Man, I felt like I was running in slow motion, or worse, backwards.  I have to keep reminding myself to move forward.  I hate that.  But I made it, that's all that matters, right?
