Lifted for arms and abs

Spin class - went easy I noticed when my heart rate went above 150 I would feel light headed. Kept heart rate in 140's until then end of class and tried to go above 150 again and it was not as bad.

As most of you know this race was going to be the first time Kimmy and I race each other rather than running with each other. I was still a little sick when I got up for the race and was a little scared about pushing my heart rate after the spin class.

When I went to wake up Katlyn she said her back still hurt (a problem she has been having for a few months now). I knew she was feeling bad because she really wanted to run with McKenna. Anyway when I told Kim Katlyn was not going to run Kim decided to run with McKenna and I was on my own.

After we got our bags Kim and I decided to warm up for a while. I started to feel light headed again, I look at my heart rate monitor and my heart rate was 152. I was afraid that I would not be able to defend my title from last year (I won my age group). The plan was I would start out going as fast as I could and if I felt like I was going to pass out I would slow down and run with Kim and McKenna.

I started out and felt bad but I remember during spin that the feeling passed so I thought I would give it a minute and I started to feel better soon after we started.

About ¾ of a mile into the race a very nice man started to run beside me. I think he thought I was a new runner and he would yell out our time from the stopwatch around his neck. This actually really helped because I didn’t need to look at my Garmin I could just run. My first mile was 7:43. I knew this was a little fast but this is the only portion of the race that was down hill and I wanted to take advantage of it. At 1.5 mile My “team mate” yelled out 12:00 even I thought if I could keep up this pace I could come in around 24 minutes I was really excited. About this time my “team mate” started to fade and I was really sad because he was so much help. I finished the second mile in 8:13 but I still felt great. At mile 2.5 I felt my lungs start to give out. I was still really congested. I guess you need to breath to run, who knew! I could here myself wheezing as I ran and people started to pass me. I just wanted to hold on until the end. I turned the corner right before the finish line and there was a lady in front of me that I though might be in my age group. I had to pass her I push and did just barely. The last mile was 8:35 with a total time of 25:01. I took first in my age group and 74th over all. Last year I finished this race in 24:59 with splits of 7:30, 8:11 and 8:23. This year they changed the start and the finish because it was too short last year so I am happy with the race over all.

I needed to run 13.1 miles today to get in my half for the month of November (Cougars Challenge) I was STILL not feeling well but it was the last day I could do it so I was out the door. I felt tired and had no energy the whole run, my legs were never tired but I just couldn't make them move. I even walked most of the last two miles. I would run until my lungs would burn and I felt like I was not getting air and then I would walk until my legs got cold (I was in short silly me!) Here are my very ugly splits!

9:20, 9:49, 9:19, 9:15, 9:24, 9:51, 9:26, 16:03 (stopped to go potty must not have turned off watch oops!)9:20, 10:21, 10:36, 12:31, 11:55

You can totally see where I hit the wall. This has really never happened to me like this before and I hope it never does again!
