Food poisoning from last night really put a damper on my workout plans for today.  I had wanted to get up early and do a nice little outside 4 miler on a route that Michelle had shown me.  Needless to say, after being up puking all night I did not get up early and workout.  I tossed and turned all night.  Feel better today, went to training.  Ate bananas, oranges, drank gatorade- tried to replace what my body lost being sick last night.  Bummed I didn't get my last little pre-marathon race in.  Silver lining....silver lining...(thinking of you Kim) at least I lost a couple pounds? (ha)

Aaarrrghhhhh! NO FOOD POISONING! That is a big fear of mine to come down there and eat something tomorrow that will make me sick! At least you got it out of your system! And a couple pounds off never hurt no marathoner! :o) See you soon!

oh Christi, I am so sorry. That sounds awful. I hope you stay feeling good!!

From Michelle on Oct 03, 2008 at 00:39:23

Oh Christi.... I feel so bad! I hope it was lunch and not dinner....oh I feel so bad, (did I already say that??)

I didn't hear from you tonight so I hope your doing better. Crazy night at my house, I think that I always try to get to much done in the evenings and end up feeling frustrated because I'm stressed at 10:00 because I'm not done. I did get some hot pepper jelly made and bottle, laundry how ever is not folded...I should be doing that now! Have a safe drive and I'll talk to you tomorrow!
