8 easy pace miles (8:23) at 4:20am before work at UVRMC' s NICU.   Worked all day.  PRETTY fatigued. Need some quality sleep but no time with training, work and mothering : D.  Got to get up and go early again in the morning.  Hopefully to bed soon.

I'm right there with ya! Working everyday this week and trying to have a peak week, ughhh! Are you racing Saturday? I am coming over with Michelle but have to do 22-24 miles

From JulieC on Wed, May 04, 2011 at 23:26:44 from 168.103.185.82

22-24 miles, seriously? I was planning on 17 miles of the race course with 14 at half marathon to marathon pace then another 2 when I run/cheer on the girls for 1/2 mile then book it to the finish over the center street viaduct while they run the last three miles and I run 1.5 mile straight shoot to the finish. I currently DO NOT have saturday off. NO ONE WILL COVER ME so I am just so BUMMED right now about how I am going to work this out. It is just easier to get MP/1/2 MP in a race and not solo on a TM. SO I HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE MCKENZIE. We should run together and push each other. Is Michelle running the marathon or half?

From Kelli on Wed, May 04, 2011 at 23:35:47 from 71.219.96.115

I do not know how you do it all, really. I have completely forgone my running group because I can not get up in the morning and my little part time job kills me! You are amazing.

From MCKENZIE on Wed, May 04, 2011 at 23:46:22 from 75.169.112.51

I hope you get it covered~ Michelle is racing the half. I am going to meet Josse and run I really have no plan for many MP miles, I just want to survive working,family and running this week :) txt me if you are there and we will meet you, your plan sounds well thought out, I love to Cheer runners on...so much fun!
