Stomach is almost back to normal today.  But I still felt very sluggish and tired.  Since I am running the half tomorrow I just decided to take it easy today and see if I could be fresh for the race tomorrow.  It was a nice morning around 48 but windy.  Hopefully the wind dies down before tomorrow.  I have very low expectations for the race tomorrow.  I think I will treat it like a long MP run and see how I feel.  If I feel better tomorrow I may push it a little but would be happy if I ran around 1:35.  In one way I wish I hadn't signed up for the race but it is probably good to get a race in and get me back into a better frame of mind for my running.  I just haven't had the same focus that I did earlier in the year.  So I guess I will just see how it goes.

Glad you are feeling a bit better. Good luck at the race, sometimes going into a race with nothing to lose or gain but to just have fun is a refreshing approach. With no pressure on yourself, just go run and enjoy the time on the roads. Which HM is it?

Jeff, I hope you are right. I am running the half in the marathon that you ran last year. Looks like great weather and is a nice course.
