No exercise today, but we did head over to lava hot springs pool (oh man, I definitely recommend this place). I got to take evan on a few of the water slides, and my cute little 5 year old was so brave. I did however head down one first, and in the middle it went pitch black for 10 seconds. Oh crap. He handled it fine, but said "that one was soo fun! lets go on the other one though." always puts on a brave face haha. All the slides said not to go on them when pregnant, but i figured i was fine. I had my doubts though when jim dragged me to the scariest, straight down one and i about peed my pants! He did not convince me to go off of the super high dive after that. figured if you have to sign a waiver to go on it, it prob wasnt for me at this point. My 2 year old wanted to give them a try though, daring little squirt.
I loaded up on spaghetti and pecan praline ice cream that night (yum!), got my race gear ready, but shortly after started feeling really sick. The 2 hour car ride had been brutal that day, but this was intensified. I was thinking that my ulcer had kicked in again, as i hadn't been taking medicine for it since getting pregnant. I wasn't sure what i could take that night, so stuck with the tums and went to bed with my kids. I'd had a nagging feeling all week that this race was going to be too much for me - there were too many things i was having to deal with. I was going to have to kt tape my knees, and my back and ribs as they were still bugging. I wasnt sure how my body would handle that distance at this point. So i said a prayer that night that if i wasn't supposed to run tomorrow, to let me know. Well i definitely got my answer.
