Noon run, sunny, temp. 77

My stomach was sick yesterday and is still feeling quizzy today.  I decided to go on an easy run anyway.  I met Eric on the path and he was going to do 2 fast miles.  I was dumb enough to do it with him.  We did the 2 miles in 6:05 mile average.  Not to long after I got a bloody nose, however, luck would have it that I was near a restroom at a park.  I was then able to finish the run without any other problems. 

Time 36:00,  Mile avg. - 7:35

Noon run, sunny, temp. 80+

My stomach is still not all the way better.  After about a mile it started aching again.  It didn't get to bad but just enough that it took most of the fun out of the run. 

Time 40:20,  Mile avg. - 7:55

Morning run, temp. 65'

Stomach still a little unsettled and I didn't have the drive today.  I did a couple half hearted strides in hopes it would wake me up but it didn't and then I gave up on those.  Some days are not meant to be good jogging days.  Hopefully, the mojo will all be back by Saturdays Stake 5k run.

Time 47:15,  Mile Avg. - 7:54

8:00 AM start, Temp. 65-70

I've had stomach problems all week and I this morning I could still feel a little unrest in my stomach but luckily it didn't come into play during the run.  I decided to push Kenna in our jogging stroller to give some other runners a chance.

A Bingham High cross country runner showed up and a returned missionary that just got off his mission that has a running scholarship to BYU showed up.    I didn't realize that I would actually have a race or I might not have decided to push my daughter.  I stayed with the two good runners until a very steep hill.  By the time I got to the top of the hill they had gained 20 seconds on me.  They both ended up beating me by about 20 seconds with the College RM just winning by 5 or 10 yards.  I got a 19:15.  I think I left a little in the tank on worries of my stomach and concerns about Kenna in the stroller.
