Ran the big block twice today. We started at 7:00 to get some practice in the heat- it is too hot - I feel for all you that run in it every day! First time went really well. I felt strong up the hill and then kicked it in on the flat and down hill stretch. Stopped for water and then headed again. I could tell right off that it was going to be much harder. Went to head up the hill and about half way up I started with the double vision thing again. I stopped for a minute and it went away. With about 1.5 miles to go I got a really weird cramp in my back, up in my ribs. It stayed until the I was almost done. I cannot believe how much harder this was then a few months ago, but I have to keep reminding my self that the more I do the easier it will become.

Now I get to go to my son's baseball game and then two softball games - pretty much my day will be spent at the ball park.

That must be a big block! And I'm with ya on the heat! Mik'L was making a bit of fun at me the other day and telling me not to get heat stroke during my 65 degree runs! (she just doesn't understand...haha!)

Keep plugging away! Even with the struggles you have had, you are still beat me at the Heart of Holladay!
