| 2 miles on treadmill at gym before 6am weight class. Left ankle (lower shin) is a little sore, but otherwise no pain from race Sat. I think I'm actually builing a better foundation- yeah! First time back to weight class in almost a month. I decided to use lighter weights than usual so I wouldn't be too worn out today and also didn't want stiffness to adversely affect my running. Planning on running at least 5 tomorrow with Buff & Heather and 5 again Thurs. w/ SG Running Club gals. Will do 18 mi. long run either Fri. or Sat. depending on everyone's schedule. |

| Bad stomach problems today. I think I may have a bug. No fun at all and couldn't get in my morning run. I'm mad! Needed to get in some miles today. Trying to lay low today and kick this so I can run tomorrow! |

| 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! |

| Stomach is lots better, but still not 100%. Cold is staying just in nose & throat. So felt good enough to go 5 (little valley loop) with Heather today. Nice cool weather this morning! I don't even think it was 70 degrees out! Lovin' It! 10:16 pace. Felt really good. Didn't feel like I could go any faster, but DID feel like I could run farther, maybe a 7 or 8... I'm off to get kids to school, then some raspberry tea (thanks again Sasha for the tip!) & bed. Yesterday after I got kids off to school I laid down for about an hour, then felt too guilty. So I got up & worked (I do mortgages from home) and then made a BIG Coscto run (my family has a reunion coming up & guess who's doing all the food shopping for the group- yours truly). Finished that just in time to pick the kids up from school and run them around to soccer & gymnastics. I was running around til 7pm. Kinda wore myself out. Gonna rest more today! |

| Heather & I ran from Veyo to "The True Church" on Bluff. 18 miles. Met up at 3:45 so I could be back for Toby's 8am soccer game. Yes, we must be crazy. When we got out of the car in Veyo we realized my flashlight was dead- I checked it at home and it worked- oh well...So it was a very dark run until about 6:30. I was worried we would trip, but luckily we didn't. My legs felt like bricks for the first 2 miles, but then everything was OK. I never felt great, I could tell I'd been sick this week-but I felt pretty good considering how my week started out. I felt slow the majority of this run. I put on my IPOD for 3 songs and felt my pace dramatically increase thanks to the distraction- but then the battery died (lesson to self- charge the dang IPOD!) So most of this run I was pretty slow. My ankles stayed a bit sore for the entire run, but not too bad- I was just aware of it. It was so dark that we missed 2 of our bags of drinks & goodies- but that was OK. I really wanted them to be more spread out anyway. So we made 3 stops for water and 1 porta potty stop. 3:10 final time inc. stops about 10:36 pace. Glad to mark it off the training list. Feel more prepared now that I've run more of the route. We plan on a 20 miler this next week, then I think we start tapering back down. Getting psyched for the marathon! Before I got sick this week I was starting to think I'd really like to try to break 4 hrs. I knew it was a long shot and I'm not feeling very optimistic since I've been sick. The predictors I use tell me to expect anywhere from 4:02-4:12. So I realize under 4 is really hopeful. I'll be happy to come in anywhere under 4:15, but breaking 4 would be awesome... |
