The latest

I haven't had anything great to post lately.  It's the daily grind that I can't get out of bed, I have no one waiting for me....

THIS WEEK my goal will be to hit EVERY work out Sandra posted on our calendar even if I have to do it all in one day.

I went to the gym today and ran 7.3 miles on the treadmill.  Amber runs next to me and it actually went really fast.  I followed Sandra's directions pretty closely but decided instead of a 1200 that I would do the last one a mile.  I don't know how I calculated wrong in my head- but I was trying to beat Heath's 6:30 mile.  I came in at 6:40.  I knew as I got close to the end that I was off, but couldn't run fast enough to make up the difference.  I don't really like to start off at the fastest past, I'd rather speed up as I go.  I ran a 6:40 today.

Friday night I was in Springville at my in-laws house and got terrible sleep.  I also had major stomach problems- which now I know was the stomach flu.  I debated on texting Sandra that I wasn't going to make it- but I was really worried about not running 15 miles.  I feel trained for a 1/2 marathon, but not a full.

So I went to her house.  My stomach hurt the whole time and I felt like I was going to throw up or have the runs.  I don't even want to know what the pace was.  I finally called it at 10 miles and Shanon and Sandra ran on without me.  The saddest part is that I didn't even feel like I could meet them at waffle love.

I couldn't eat most of the day and into Easter Sunday.  I was pretty sick.

Today I feel so much better!  It's a new day and I'm going to hit every workout this week.  Tomorrow I am going to run the 10 miles I need to do.  (Sandra has it on Wednesday)  I figure I can run early with Sharayne at 5:30 and then finish what I don't do at the gym.

Wed I will swim & bike.
Thursday bike
Friday run 15 miles
Saturday swim at the hotel pool in vernal.

I'll let you know how it goes.  Here's to a new start and hopefully getting in shape enough for the marathon.
