Total Distance

10.00

Let me just start by saying I guess the important thing is, is that I did it. We chose to go a route that had alot of hills again and I think that wiped me out long before it should have. I usually dont feel that crappy on a long run. I got a side ache at 4.5 miles that forced me to walk and you know how once you walk, its hard to get going again. I mean really going. Also I felt like throwing up the last 3 miles, I think it was the powerade. Im still trying to stomache those drinks. I know they're good for you but they make me want to puke. And it also didnt help me that there is tension on the homefront right now. So I guess mentally I wasnt as prepared as I needed to be. BUT I did it. I finished, and im done. Next week im choosing a less hilly route and hoping things go better.

Totally awesome job Lysa! Way to stick it out and finish the distance. Puking seems quite popular around here lately. Maybe it's the summer heat getting to everyone.

Let me know if your up for a pipeline run next Saturday (or Sunday). We could start at Birch Hollow and head west.

Those homefront issues are a drain sometimes. Thank goodness for the long view!
