Should be called an easy run but wasn't.

7:17 am, 30-37° F, 50% humidity, winds calm.

So I sent on the 7 mile run with Michelle. My favorite hill was mile 6, which we took very slowly. Then a little later when we were .1 miles from finishing and heading uphill, Michelle decided to run fast. I tried to hang with her and made it the .1 miles, at which point I stopped and puked for several minutes. Apparently now I can't run at 9:00 pace for one minute without puking. OK, it was running uphill and was at the end of a run, but still. I am pathetic. If I keep running, I'll get better, right?

I told Michelle that Jillian would be proud of her for pushing me to the point of puking.

You are not pathetic at all Carolyn! Some people would think you are a rock star for puking.

You'll definitely get better, and quickly at the rate you're going.

Sorry for the "not so fun" mile 6. Jillian would be proud! Nice miles!

Hahahaha, Yay, you puked. So happy to see you back and pushing yourself. Of course you'll get better. You are actually speeding up pretty quick.
