Six in the morning. Felt good especially the last three. Yesterday, I got my husband a Wii for his birthday. I wasn't sure I would like it, but it wasn't my gift. It turns out the Sports Pac was so fun! Now my arms are really sore from spending the afternoon boxing, playing tennis, bowling, and playing baseball! It is crazy. I pre-ordered the WiiFit that is a balance board that comes with all kinds of stuff. It is coming in May. I am pretty excited about it. Who knew?

I am really proud of my friend Turena who ran in the Olympic Trials yesterday. She came in 6th. Her goal was the top ten. So since she didn't make the team (which I wished for her), that is exactly the place I wished for her because fourth and fifth are just too close to the top three to be happy. She PR'ed, and I know she is happy. I can't wait to talk with her and hear all about it. Hopefully, I'll see her tomorrow. Here is a video http://www.runnerspace.com/eprofile.php?do=videos&pg=1&event_id=70&video_id=2767. She appears at the front of the second pack closest to the camera at about 40 seconds into the video. She is wearing a blue top and black bottoms. She runs very straight up and down (almost leaning back). Then she crosses the finish line in sixth waving to the crowd at 1:21 or so.

I struggled through (or should I say Slogged through) six miles this morning. I think I need to get more and higher quality sleep. I will try to get better about getting in bed earlier.

Ran three more this evening with Bubbles. This is to make up for the lightning workout that didn't happen yesterday.

Ran 5 in the am. Tried to run again in the evening and my left foot would have no part of it. I see the pt again tomorrow. Hopefully he can fix it.

Wow, sick, sick, sick. I thought I could go to bed for a few hours and then run later. Oh no, it got worse. My husband had minor tummy trouble yesterday but this is much worse than that. I cannot eat. I didn't eat more than 400 calories today. If I don't eat, I cannot run!

Still sick. I have no energy. I thought if I could eat one good meal today, I could run. No dice.
