Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
10.49	0.00	10.49

Cedar Hills again. Skipped the part on the canal (tired of frozen clay running after yesterday) so route shorter thankfully. 10.49 miles at exactly 8:00 pace. This is that very hilly route so I am good with this time. My pace has improved on this run by 18 seconds per mile at what I would consider a comfortable pace. Not pushing it. Surprised first mile 8:20. Last mile 7:45. I got my braces adjusted yesterday with new elastics to bring my front top teeth all together and I am suffering with a terrific sinus like pulsating intense pressure in the forehead, temples, bridge of nose and of course the teeth. It was ailing me in the run. The headache is making me dizzy with some fuzzy vision. This happened in August and lasted a week. I at least stopped the tech from putting in the latex elastics. She almost had them all the way on when I stopped and asked her. She left the room and came back and said "sorry, there is a bag here just for you, of latex free elastics". What a pain I am. Glad I don't have to fight the fatigue that problem caused me in August. Latex allergy is not fun. Anyway, body felt fine brain not so, so this was a mediocre run cause I couldn't enjoy it very much with the pain. The last mile was a good one knowing I could complain at home to my mommy who is visiting for one more day. I am thankful for moms. Oh and I also didn't sleep well as Brooke, my nine year old threw up all over the place and we (Troy and I) had to do the big spray/hose down at midnight and I hadn't been able to sleep because of the pain. Brooke is home from school today. Lucky ducky as my mom spoiled the grandkids by buying them a Wii yesterday for their birthdays (Aug, Oct, Dec). Brooke gets to play with it while the others have to go to school. But not before I get her to do her homework and piano. I am not that much of a pushover. She is feeling better btw. Sorry long post.

So NICE to have Grandma here to spoil the kids and "feel sorry" for your orthodontic pains. :) AWESOME 18 sec/m improvement of the hilly run! Can't imagine what you'd capable of WITHOUT brain pain! A BULL in a PEN, huh!?! WHAT A WOMAN!!!

Gearing up for another 60 mile week? Sorry Brooke is sick. I never get any sleep when the kids are sick!

April- I don't know about 60. Time will tell. All this throw up pick up is making me feel queasy but I am determined detox the heck out of myself by cranking up the miles whenever I can. I work wed, thur but plan a long run Saturday. Smooth- Would run mesquite 1/2 or full (4 1/2 hours away) this Sat. but BYU plays a home game and girls have a piano recital and well I want to sit back and hear how it goes for others and be glad for them : D. Thanks for all those marathon suggestions. A Jan. 1st marathon would be so perfect, but I work the night before, of course. I will look into the ones that are closest next. Thanks for your time in posting those to me!!!

PS what is the CIM run everyone is talking about in relation to qualifying for Boston?

From Bec on Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 17:57:45 from 67.177.35.60

California International Marathon? I think it's a last chance to Boston or something. Don't really know.

Anyway, your workout looks great. Nice pace even with the massive head pounding.
