benadryl to sleep and for nausea 1/2 

wanted cetrizine troy could not find it so i had to just try that

sweated a lot all night

pain in abs still intense  

nausea ridiculous took omerazole this am

lost 3 pounds so far

i think on top of pelvic congestion started by the pump class and already nausea last wednesday and feeling under the weather thursday and stress of them doing my roof with on and off rain and being pulled to uv and the loss of mark's baby (really the main stressor from last tuesday announced in groupme that he passed away at 39 weeks stillborn)  so traumatic for our unit.  just really too much to take in a perfect soul gone.  just released a lot of emotion for me for mark and his wife and daughter and stressed me out greatly and then being pulled away fromour unit without support....  bad timing  as i tried to run the canyon and then amber sucking me into the pump class when i felt very run down..   that class probs ruptured my veins  (pelvic congestion) and i did modified.  I just usually avoid classes bc i get thesse type of pain responses and this was by far the worst in pain category along with intense nausea and chills and fever.

Race: Haunted half on Halloween (13.1 Miles) 01:54:37, Place in age division: 1
Slow milesFast milesTotal Distance
12.970.0012.97

this course was 0.13 miles less than a 13.1

i could not sleep after waking at 343 am

laid in bed finally up at 540 am

got to parking at 609

buses, lots of busses not even filled yet so i stayed in my car

i am  quite concerned how this will go bc of this horrible last 8 days with pelvic and abdominal pain fever and chills

goal is to finish but then i said try under2 hours (i am capapble of under 1:40 when not sick and seriously wounded)

got by 1:55 pacer after arriving to start at 735 am

they took off and i never saw them again 

for some reason i thougth their avg was supposed to be 909 but then i realized that was the 2:00 pacers that told me that and bc i am a pacer it dawned on me lol..  so then i realized wow 1:55 is probs 8:49.  well i was in significant pelvic pain the entire jog that stopping would cause me to never start again so i just mentally pushed through the ridiculous pain, but I could not go faster that 8:40 so anytime i did i just slowed (it was more painful)

i got in at 1:54:37 but I was hitting every mile 0.12 short

926 down then up a lot then down slightly
