RAN my last "long run" before SGM.  Left at 5:52am.  It was very cold in my shorts and short-sleeves.  My arms never quite thawed out.  I was sore from my workout yesterday-- hills and mile repeats.  I also got this terrific headache last night followed by nausea in my sleep.  I was worried I was catching something.  My daughters have been sick with a sinus cold and I found HUGE chunks of grossness in the sink from my daughter Brooke.   She had been complaining of a sore throat and headache.  LOVELY.  Courtney and Amber have had there sinus problem for about three weeks now but now Amber (my youngest) tells me her throat is hurting and last night and the morning before she kept telling me about her headache.  GEEZ!!!   HURRY UP SGM so I can stay healthy for the race.  Seriously think next year I will race TOU and  jog the SGM.  The third week of September I feel like I am still summer running.  When the air gets colder it brings all the germs with it.  We had to pick up my nephew (Troy's side) from school yesterday (early) because he threw up all over himself.  He couldn't make it to the bathroom.  Then when I called my own sister today she was on her way to pick up her daughter from school because she THREW up too. These schools our 12 miles apart.  She said her youngest threw up on Tuesday and her other kids were talking about how their stomachs hurt.  I also worked on Pediatrics Wednesday and the pediatricians told me the flu is going around quite a bit.  Duh.  Really!!!  So WATCH out everyone and stay away from RESTAURANTS for now.  Oh ran nice and easy hilly run to the mouth of the AF canyon and back to my house.  13 miles @ 8:10 pace.  Trying out different modes of my garmin so  I can't look at overall AP just time and mile splits.  First mile 9:02.  Last mile 7:11.  CARDIO-wise felt awesome.  Soreness wise I knew I had to slow it down for most of the run.  8 DAYS until SUBTHREE!!!  I am already there! : D.

Nice miles!! My sister teaches first grade and her and her entire school are all sick too. Flu! I am staying as far away from schools, children, restaurants, and people as I possibly can. Maybe I'll build a cave in my house and hybernate until race day.

Only 8 more sleeps until sub-3!! :):)
