Felt crappy all day yesterday and all night.  Allergy to some foods I ate.  Indigestion all night. Stomach pain.  Gross generalized  itchiness, achiness and migraine on the left side of my face (numbness, fluid in the ear).  Got up and CELEBRATED THE HAPPY BIRTHDAY MORNING with my new 9 year old BROOKE. We are bringing in Halloween oreos and Sprite with Rainbow Sherbert for a treat to her class.  Later it is Subway (her choice) and cold stone after her New Activity Day class at 6pm.  She is so excited to move up and be with her best friend Brooke again. 

Ran with Troy this am.  Started to feel like a zombie running.  Like night of the living dead or something.  Am I running SGM or not?  Get over it body already, it is happening.  So I picked it up to try to feel decent at some point.  Last mile 7:08.  Slowed it way down at the half when I realized I was at a 6:44 pace (3:22, oops).  Still though I feel gross.  Nothing new.  I just want to feel good one of these days......I think I will feel pretty good crossing that finish line Saturday....Positive Quote of the Day..... "Ain't about how fast I get there....it ain't about what's waiting on the other side....Its about THE CLIMB!!!  (Mylee Cyrus, really).  3.15miles @  7:46 pace, cool down 1/2 mile at 8:30 pace.  Shaking out the webs mentally and physically.
