AM: 4.65 miles on the tm PM: Got to Aberdeen track late. I had been feeling nauseated all day, then at around 4:45 mickie threw up in our entrance, so I had to clean it up, then make dinner, then leave for my track workout. Left a bit late, then waited a long time for a bus, so only got 2k warm up. Stomach feeling bad so a part of me feels like I shouldn't have gone to the workout, but I knew I wouldn't run more that day without showing up, and this week is an important part of my training, so I showed up. The workout is unusual for me: 6x 800m @ 3k pace, with 90 sec standing rest, then 3 x 200m. I wanted 2:45 pace for the 800m, but I found doing them all a bit hard. Splits were 2:47, 2:46, 2:44, 2:48 I felt worse in this fourth one, my stomach was so not happy. I started into #5, but felt very vomitous. I often say I should feel like I want to throw up at the end of a workout, but I guess I am a bit exaggerating because this is not a pleasant feeling. I dropped out of #5 after 150m. I joined back in for #6 and got 2:45. Then for the 200m, I got 32, 33, 32. There is a huge group of people all sprinting fast. These are the fastest 200m I have done since college. It was great. 5k cool down. That evening was the height of my sickness. Diarreaha and fever, tired, chills. So glad to climb in bed, but quite nauseous.
