This did not go as planned. I wanted to RACE thus and get a PR. At mile 3, I started getting really hot and my stomach was upset. By the end of 8 miles of staying on pace, I was done. Tried to go to the bathroom, but that didn't help. Walked/run the rest of the race. Seriously horrible aND felt terrible the rest of the day. Super upset and sad. Oh well

20 slow miles on the jrp. Fit's 8 were with rachel, so I was lucky to have her. The rest were ok... just slow. My head was light and dizzy. Mile 15 I thought I was going to black out. Got a drink and day down for a minute and felt a little better. Weather was nice and misty. I was so happy to be done.

Cool down with naomi I the stroller.

Rather difficult workout for me and I felt rather good about it. I tend to not think about workouts until I am I the moment. I feel like I just can't deal with the anxiety workouts cause me, so I mentally block them out of my mind.

4 miles of running to drop off a secret gift for a friend. I love that I can be sneaky and have secret missions while I run.

Ran with baby for 2 more. 2 tm miles in the kid's room at the gym but naomi cried and cried when the kids left, so we left too.

Ran home. Slow and interestingly boring. Just getting miles.

4.3 mile warm up in 96% humidity (ick!)

Stopped by the gym to do my workout on the TM.

5x1 min on/off 9.5-9.9

5x30 seconds on/off 10-10.4

The sound of the tm sounded like it was going to give out and die.

Ran home. Dripping

Long run with 6 miles of tempo. Sounds easy, but it wasn't.

We planned to run with naomi for 5 and then drop her off with a sitter. She woke up around 5 so I was happy I didn't have to wake her up.

Ran 3 miles to drop off the red box and went back to the house. Headed to the babysitters after that.

David had to do an hour tempo, so he left at that point. I continued until 8. I had anxiety about the 6 miles the entire run.

Splits (my goal was 7:30, since that is my MGP)

Kinda all over the place but it felt good for the most part. I'm getting anxiety about the race because I don't know how I will deal with the weather if it's humid and hot! Things I can't control. I just want a good marathon, is that too much to ask for?

3 miles warm up

5 miles of tempo.  Set the TM on 8.0.  First 5 min each .5%, 1%, 1,5%, 2%, 2,5%, 2%, 1.5% and then I ran out of time so I had to run home.  This workout felt great, it was a little difficult but didn't leave me trashed.

2 more miles with Naomi.

18 miles around the base. 5 miles and then a drink at the gym. 4 more miles and a stop at home to change shirt, gu and salt stick. 4 more miles and then a gym stop, 3 more and then the gym again. 2 hime. Yay that'd over. Humid but not hot. Or I'm just used to it all.

We are off to MO Ranch for the weekend. We both have our long runs out of the way, thank goodness!

Coach wanted me to run LSD. 8:24 AP not fast, but it didn't feel that slow either.

2.5 mile warm up

6x400 between 1:35-1:38 200-400 rest between each

People were out doing their PT test so I had to stay in the 4th lane. I started and ended in the wrong place. Some of the laps I didn't even start my watch, I wanted to scream. The first couple were 1:37, 1:38... the last one I finally got the inside lane and I ran 1:30, so I know they were all on pace.

Watched a group of guys do a practice PT. They were huffing and puffing and I passed some of them on my recovery laps. Oh dear.

3 miles with naomi and I thought I was going to DIE

Daddy of all daddies run today. The BIG one. 8 miles easy and then 5x2 sets... first set @ 7:30, second set negative splitting.

Got going and it was dark and cooler than usual. Saw an animal that scared the crap out of me. Mile 3 there was a bird that scared me. I'm terrible running in the dark.

Mile 4-bathroom stop. Didn't know if I was going to make all 20 miles. Belly was not happy. Stopped at home @ mile 8 to GU and salt stick.

6 miles slow. I got to run with Hilary and Sarah for a bit. My 6 mile run turned into an hour and a half because of all the talking. It was fun.
