oh man this was mentally tough for me.  I was in some spiraling "I don't think I can run another step" mode in the first 1/4 mile.  My brain felt down and depressed.  It was weird.  I wasn't breathing hard I was like lacking vitamin D or something to my brain/body.  I thought I was going to stop and call my husband from the nearest phone and call it a day but magically at mile 3 I started to feel myself again.  I ran the last 6 miles of Allie's 22 miler and was going to turn around and run back but decided to check out the new UNDER the highway trail tunnel (coming out of AF canyon and on to the trail then crossing under the road that passes by Lone Peak high school.  It is finally finished!!)  Yay this is where the AF half will go now instead of risking our lives trying to cross the four lane road!!  (I guess they did have a police man there last year.  Don't need him now).   Well the trail under the bridge lead to my usual trail behind lone peak so  I followed the AF half marathon course to nearly the finish and ran home from there (about two more miles).   I wanted 12 miles and funny for the first time in a long time my course was right on what I wanted :D.  No longer, no shorter.   This was a recovery jog.  The last three miles I was famished and very thirsty.  When I got home I quickly drank some juice and ate a turkey sandwich with cheese and lettuce and red onion.  Well that was mistake.  I have been nauseated ever since almost to the point of puking.  I had to lie down and I actually fell asleep for about 20 minutes.   I also didn't realize how hard I worked with the rowing machine yesterday.  It felt so darn easy while I was doing it.   I slightly sore up top.  AP, I stuck within my recovery range for once-- 8:32 for 12 miles.  First mile 9:30  : D.    Got a few flakes of snow on me.  Probably from the mountains but it finally felt somewhat winter-ish!!
