OK - so the donut I ate an hour before the run was probably not the best fuel.

7.5 miles in 1:25.  I picked a very hilly course - I would think less than a mile was actually flat and it was net uphills ( I still don't know how there can be more uphills than down on a round about course).

Pushed the first five miles. Somewhere between marathon and tempo pace.  I took a 3 minute break at Gold's  Gym at 4.1 miles and was still struggling to get my breathing under control when I started up.  Knees started hurting around mile 6.  Took some walk breaks the last mile.

By mile 6 my ab area was really tired from the pushing section

Take it easy, Maurine. You're a diehard. Hope you're feeling better and no puking.
