Believe to Achieve

woke up at midnight very nauseated. felt like the stomach flu. could not sleep from the all over achiness that comes with it. took two mylanta. i did eat horribly the hours before bed so it could be the combination of junk and good foods i ate. 12 on the schedule today. felt weak leaving for the gym but told myself this is just an easy run so started at 1% incline and ran a progressive recovery til 9 miles then three fast. recovery miles were 8:19, 8:12,8:06,8:00,7:53,7:47,7:41,7:35 and 7:30. fast miles were 6:37ap, 6:29ap, and 6:18. stretched, 12 jumping squats and 10 pushups to help my muscles learn to stay strong. 90:38 for 12 miles. no stops. ran at 815am. on and off nauseated but music made me feel strong. left knee to hip still out from fall. may be tendons that were pulled when i slammed the door on it. or bone bruise. seriously how stupid am i to do that to myself? ont i have enough drama? ha ha. oh i also bit my tongue quite hard eating fresh veggies. nice bruise and swelling of my tongue now. that was yesterday about four pm at work. kind of annoying to have a fat sore tongue. should be gone in a few days luckily.

back to reds....left knee and lower back si joint down sciatic nerve to foot pain driving me nuts again. ran slow 8:45ap cold morning leaving for phoenix hot there. drove to phoenix..10.5 hours total driving and stop time. casa grande is destination. staying with mom. surprised my mom. she thought i was flying so came in one day earlier. kids were great in car.

drive ended my running today cause sciatica really acting up and my inner left knee same place as where i shut it in the door. why did it take this long to get thispinful? probably cause i was too stubborn to get it put on place right after and my body not liking it out of position now too far out to get it with one visit to chiropracter. so no running for me for next few days and wont be racing boston if this pain is happening next week :-( oh well jist will go with what i can give

a little excitement last night...kids in different trailer...i woke in a hot sweat and then courtney came running in yelling about an alarm going off. i was up and didnt hear it so i assumed she was dreaming. but i was worried so i moved the kids at 115am back to our trailer. anyway felt like leg was good to go for a runsince i am back to my old faithfu shoes the red flyknits. thought i was running a 9 pace and it was and 8 so picked it up every mile and did a short tempo and then eased off after the 6-8 min hal higdon says to be at tempo pace for a 30 min tempo. miles were 8:01, 7.25, 6:52, 6:33, 6:46 and 6:51. ap 7:04. then 10 min later ran two miles with amber. 8:39, and 8:21. 97 degrees the high for the day so left at 730am. casa grande having a heat wave. not bugging me at all surprisingly. felt great with only a minor twinge in the left knee thanks to my shoe change.

easy run. two with amber my 11 year old. left later. hot but tolerable with a alight breeze to save the day. ap 8:13.
