Tried the Raspberry Tea last night, think it helped my stomach a little.  However, woke up with a sore throat.  My son has had a cold for the past couple days so I shouldn't be surprised that I've caught that now too.  Jim's car broke down last week and we haven't gotten it fixed yet, so he informed me last night that he'd need a ride to work.  I was actually kinda glad 'cause that drug me out of bed at 5:15.  So I dropped him off and ran a 3.5 loop VERY slowly- 11:14 pace.  My stomach cramps would come and go, I felt kinda feverish.  But really not as bad as I thought it would be.  I think this is my first time running sick (except of course for those stomach issues that can come up on a race or long run).  I was happy I got out there.  I picked a route that was hilly (up over foremaster) which was tough- but I decided I wanted to do it anyway because the traffic is light and its well lit. I'm bummed at how being sick is trashing my miles for this week- exactly one month til SG Marathon!  So I'm off to get kids to school, then enjoy some more raspberry tea & off to bed!  Gonna try to kick this ASAP!

We missed you this morning! I'm sorry you are sick! That is no fun. A couple girls that are running the marathon were there, so I was sad we couldn't hook you up with them. They are doing 18 tomorrow and Kendra hasn't run since the half, so we just did 4 today. Hopefully you can get feeling better and we'll see you next week!

Sorry to hear you're sick in the middle of your SG training!! Hope you're feeling better soon. I'm impressed you ran while feverish. You amazing Amazon woman!!!! ;oD

Good job getting yourself out but I hope that you did just that and went back to bed, you are gonna need lots of rest to get better while still demanding extra from your body!!! Do you take a multivitamin or anything like that on a regular basis? This time of year I think that it really helps to at least take vit. C to help ward off some of those yucky bugs out there just waiting to infest anyone and everyone!!

My work schedual really messed me up this week with the holiday ect. Haven't made it out today, not sure if I'm gonna either, might just try and get some SLEEP tonight and hope to wake up perky enough for a longer run in the a.m. When I got out of bed today my right hip flexor or something is hurting in a wierd way, and I don't eben think that I did anything to it, so maybe day off for rest isn't such a bad idea!! FEEL BETTER!!! and don't push to hard even though I know that it is painful to miss during precious training time it will pay for itself in the long run!
