I was going to meet kim with a ride up from courtney but helped move amber and kyle a lot yesterday to Thorneberry apt.  I was already feeling sick all week  indigestion and weakness and rib pain and body aches.

i cancelled on her but forgot to tell courtney and honestly figures she forgot

so she woke me at 555 am and asked me whats going on...then i could not fall asleep so got up the BR at 610 and contemplated for a while and decided since it was the first cooler day with some sprinkly rain I would just run until i could not.   I had activity day activity at 10 am so i had a time restraint.

got out at 632 am and ran five mile loops on the second loop i ran with brooke c for just over a mile bc i had texted her and she said she was on 600 north 20 min before that. she had run 3 miles by then and had no more time with busy kids schedule. 

i then ran a dif 5 mile loop with some same parts for second loop then same third loop as first then out and back on same course for forth with a little variation.  

just jogged no picking it up.

first mile 9:52 , last mile 8:24 so that looks picked  up but all other miles nice and even

952, 916, 909, 902, 849, 856, 829, 848, 844, 838, 845, 852, 848, 850, 839, 840, 849, 847, 845, 824.

rained on last mile :D before that over cast, brief sun , then sprinkles, then rain D: and thunder
