Just one race at a time

Very sick

Still sick

Still sick

Tried to run and go to spin...no luck I am going back to bed.  I have to go to my daughters concert tonight I hope I feel better.

My schedule called for 11 miles with 10 at marathon pace.  I was very sure that I was still too weak to do 10 miles at marathon pace but I wanted to get in as long of a run as I could.  I ran 4.5 miles with Heidi it was so fun to run with her again.

Splits: 9:28, 9:52, 9:45, 9:39, 

I felt good after this run and I had 30 minutes before I had to wake my daughter up so I went out for 3.5 miles

Splits: 9:26, 8:57, 8:46, 8:39

While only two of the miles were at marathon pace it really was a pace effort for most of the run.  I was feeling light headed but I wanted to continue to workout.  I hopped on the treadmill set the incline to between 6-8 and walked up the hill for 5 miles until my buns were on fire!.  I still feel sick but I think I will try and run again tomorrow at a slow pace and work on speed when I feel better.

18 miles that really made me feel a lot better about Boston.  Now if I could only get Teena, my little cheer leader, to come at cheer me on during the race.  I know I couldn't have done it without her!

I wanted to run 9:30 for most of the miles but mostly I wanted to run longer than 10 miles without a long break.  I kept thinking that the wheels were going to fall off and I did get tired but never totally bonked!

Splits: 9:12, 9:06, 8:53, 8:44, 8:52, 8:43, 9:04, 8:53, 9:02, 9:13, 8:55, 8:55, 12:05 (ate gu and walked) 9:00, 9:10, 9:22 (walked water stop) 11:56 not sure why this is slow 9:02.

Most of the miles were 10 - 30 second off marathon pace so I am really happy with this run!
