Well, there was hope that I might get to the gym this morning, but alas... taking a baby with a cold to his well child check just means immunizations and more feeling crappy. Poor kid, now he has a real fever! blah.... Up early, with a deadline this morning, hubby needed to be on time to work for a meeting, so no fooling around! Got out the door and on my way for my 8 mile loop. I did Juniper Crest UP loop, nice for the downhill there and flat/down back, but it has the monster hill in the middle. Ran into another runner a couple miles from home, chatted and ran a good couple with her until she turned off for home - just before the worst part of the hill. Nice to have some company! On the last few miles home that are supposed to be nice flat/down easy miles my stomach started up on me again. I think it is either the cold or not eating before I run, either way I'm sick of it! Got light headed as well and wanted to just shut my eyes. Weird, but I just pushed through to get home on time. Walked in the door as hubby was walking down the stairs - perfect timing! AP: 8:50 (slowest run so far this week! blah) splits: 8:28, 7:52, 7:57, 9:04, 10:06, 8:48, 9:12, 9:09. Can you tell where the hill is? :) then when my gut went out on me, yeah - I'm an open book in my splits! At least there were a couple miles under 8 - what I consider MP. I've got another day of cuddling a sick baby in front of me, but I will hopefully get to do p90X stretch - I need it! ******Okay, here is the plan for Christmas Eve Run! 1500N at the bridge at Lehi JRP at 8:30 AM. We will bring hot cocoa and muffins, feel free to bring anything else. We figure most people will be doing around 13, so we'll go South and back. You can come and run as much or as little as you want, as fast or slow as you'd like :) Don't forget to bring your stinky blankets so you can stay warm while we party afterward!******
