I gave mile 6 my best effort, but I was dreaming of the inhaler left sitting on my bedside. I could not get a deep breath, I started out pretty clear. But just under an hour of  breathing cold air took it's toll.  It was a good effort.  Although I could feel the roll of fat created last night from Michelle's birthday cake bulging over the top of my running tights....a week of flabby miles combined with being sick actually caused me to gain 4 pounds--compounded by 10,000 calories of the best birthday cake ever known to womankind (blame Marion).

OH, I missed the party and the cake!!! Good thing I had those cupcakes at home to keep me company!

Nice run, those four pounds will melt away. I can not believe you even have to worry about weight, you are so darn fit and skinny you make me jealous every time I see you!!! And the sheer beauty, even when sweaty, never ceases to amaze me.

I'll keep it short and simply say ditto to Kelli's 2nd paragraph! (I had rootbeer floats to keep me company :) )

Rad-- you are too kind, you'll start a business as a personal trainer or a pegnancy fitness expert very soon.

Kelly, you are so sweet & hilarious. Haven't we talked about body dysmorphic disorder? You should be holding up a mirror, because more beautiful and tough women-runner, there never was. I love that you told Scott you were done with races--and then proceed to run, what 80 mile week/Sherpa others through their first marathon? Way to show him whose boss.....I think we should start having 2 FBR birthday parties where we get to eat cake. One, in Nov and One mid-late Feb. We seem to have a lot of both months. But, I know we totally imposed ourselves on Michelle. It was Monday night, she goes to bed early, she was running mile repeats this morning early and we sat there and talked her ear off and forced her to eat a lot of chocolate right before bed.

Thanks for the support guys. I hope we can do another long run on the parkway, or Provo again before Boston.

Beautiful run yesterday! NICE run today and love your pace, definitely an A+++ effort with the lingering cold. That b'day party cake sounds WONDERFUL!!! Glad you had a fun time at Michelle's!

From Kelli on Tue, Mar 02, 2010 at 23:40:25 from 71.219.89.82

I am sure Michelle loved you for it, no matter how late you stayed!!!

And, I have to say, that the reason I am running so many miles is because I am not racing. Racing takes the fun out of running for me. Now that I have no stress or pressure, I am back to just enjoying my long and mostly slower running. That is what it is about for me!!!

And I am up for cake or ice cream every day of every month, all year!

Thanks Mama Smooth. It was a lot of effort--the same effort that usually results in 8:15's.

Kelli-I know what you mean about 'no pressure.' Normally, winter is my ski/cross training season/down time/run for fun in the snow. But aren't you running Boston? That is a race last time I checked.

From Kelli on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 17:43:17 from 71.219.89.82

I am RUNNING Boston, but I am not RACING it. My husband and I are just gonna go and run it together and have fun----it is more of an excuse for a much needed vacation than it is a race!
