Ran at Willow park with Misty, Sarah and Lily.  Lily and I did 2.5 out and made it back about 1.5 with a tempo and then finished the rest off. Very Hot! I may run another 4 if I can digest my dinner in time. 

I ate dinner (chili) and waited till 8:40 to run and figured it was long enough wait to digest my food.  I went up to the lake and did 5.66 more miles to make it an even 12. I made it to mile 10 when I thought I was going to throw up! that chili was a brewin!  I made it home with some short slow strides.

Kenzie, I was fine running at 4. I shouldnt have ate. I actually felt really good at first but it hit me hard. Thanks for the well wishes. I am moving in the right direction. I have to work out of town for the first month in Wyoming but on the bright side I can get my high altitude training in right? lol
