So I got up at 715 am. No sun but got to run. Mom in town and she is anxiously wanting to shop. I hate to shop. I love to run. So I got out the door at 7:52am in all my gear. I added a long sleeve cotton shirt over my nylon shirt and underwear and then of course the infamous fleece jacket. It also absorbs nasal secretions. : D. I ran a very hilly route and felt great once more. The second dose of IV IRON must be kicking in. All this time and that's all it would have taken me to feel better? Wow. Ran strong and felt strong. Uphills gave me even more power. I hope this continues. AP for 13.1 miles 7:48. Splits: 8:23, 8:16, 8:03, 7:56, 7:45, 7:50, 7:50, 8:10 (huge hill), 7:24, 7:38, 7:17, 7:16. Still feeling really good, except now my middle daughter came down with a very bad headache, sore throat and stomach ache and fever. Must be a nurse at home as well. She has been crying all day. I gave her a massage and that helped briefly and some tylenol, ibuprofen. I have a slight scratchy throat right now so I hope to overcome. Melanie and I are running together tomorrow. SIDE NOTE: my time for this run, being a half marathon length was 1:42:13. Seriously? that is close to my Hobble Creek half time in 1995 when I ran it the first time and my third half. And this was rolling hills and Hobble is wicked down hill for 6 miles. Back then I thought I would die running a marathon at the pace I wanted to. And now at 41 I am in better shape. Just odd.

AWESOME runs this week in the dark and cold! I am so glad that the Iron IV therapy is working and you're back to your former energetic speedy self!

I hope your little girl is feeling better. Don't get sick!
