All about that pace.

7:30am Ezekiel 11-26

Ouch! I think I cracked a rib or something doing some construction work at my daughter's house on Friday. I get a sharp pain if I twist my torso or cough. It's a good thing I'm over that cold. Running was uncomfortable today, like having a side stitch that won't go away. I'm glad I'm supposed to be tapering anyway. Praying it will get better instead of worse over the next two weeks.

I saw a banana peel on the sidewalk today and ran WAY around it. Ribs are still sore, hanging in there...

Super easy today. Ribs still hurting, but not any worse than yesterday. That's a good thing right? No bananas today.

Every time I read/hear Daniel I get this tune stuck in my head.

6:00am Daniel  11 - Micah 4

This run brought to you by anxiety and ibuprofen.

I was not looking forward to this run at all except for the fact I was running it with Preston. I knew I would keep on pace with him and I was looking forward to having someone to talk to. Yesterday Kym and I drove 600 miles round trip to drop our 16 year old son off for a stay at Jubilee boys ranch. It was one of the hardest things we've ever done as parents. Unfortunately Preston couldn't make it today so I was on my own and for some reason chose to make it extra hard on myself by doing hills at MP. The flats and downhill parts came pretty easy, but the uphills were brutal! Especially the second trip up Farwest about 8 miles in. I almost threw up at mile 12 when I stopped for a drink and then again when I was finished. In the end I averaged better than my goal of 7:03 per mile, but not without a lot of effort and pain in my ribs.
