Headache still quite bad.  Pain level 8.  Gradually began my run in the FROZEN TUNDRA (17 degrees on the rotating bank sign).   This was at 10am!!!!!   HELLOOOOOO!!!!!!  Nonetheless parts of my limbs were feelable around mile three.  My thighs were  quite stiff and my right arm is VERY tender.  These darn NERVE pains!!!  And no meds quite take them away without making me stupid (neurontin).  Anyway, plan was take it real easy and see if 10 miles was doable.  I quite enjoyed my easy pace and route today SANS music.  So nice to hear the activity around me, mostly barking dogs and chattering birds that forgot to fly south for the winter.  The sun made my run the most enjoyable even though I wore a non-absorbent color.  It was just nice to have the sun there to make it "feel" like a nice day   : D.  10 miles @ 8:28 pace.  So lovely.  Later after arriving home and finding NO husband I was like "no way" he could not still be running.  He left for the rec center before me and getting back after me?  Turn out he ran 13.1 miles on the TM (1:51:25 total time = 8:30 pace!!!).  That's his FIRST half marathon and first 13 miler EVER!!  He now has MORE miles than I do this week!!  I told him I was selling his BYU vs. UTAH tickets to place him in the lottery for the St.George Marathon!!  The game is the NIGHT before the marathon.  We always have season tickets and he has NEVER missed a HOME game.   He SO can do it and probably do well under 4 hours!!!

That is so awesome for your husband! Sounds like a nice run..but rather cold. I am wavering back and forth on the St. George lottery...I have no way to train for altitude or downhills, but, it looks like such a beautiful marathon and I could meet more bloggers!
