Sorry to talk about this on here, but I do need to keep track of how I feel. Im hours away from my monthly friend and I feel completely drained. It took everything I had to run that today. I was slow and lethargic but pushed through it anyway. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger right? I should feel much better tomorrow. [cross my fingers] All  I can say about that is I sure would hate this day to be a race day. I feel bad for anyone that happens to. I guess it's different for eveyone, but for me, the days before my friend comes are the worst.

thats all she wrote.

had my running clothes on, was on the way out my door and got a call to go to meet someone my hubby and I have been trying to meet with for weeks and they could only meet right then. So out the door I went to meet him in my running clothes, b.o. and all. It was great. FREAK!!! that is me.

EDIT: ran down to the park by my house and did hill repeats for 20 minutes and ran home. I can barely breathe, it felt great! Im so happy I could squeeze something in afterall!! WAHOO!! Im guessing it was around 3 miles, I actually left the garmin at home.

Met Erin this morning, It's been a long time since Ive run with her. She is slower than me if you can believe thats possible, but we hit a few steep hills and busted up them and got a good work out. My arms kept going numb like the blood kept running out and I kept having to shake them out to let it go back down to my fingers. I dont think I was holding my arms too high, but who knows. Its hard to tell just from looking down at yourself. Thats never happened to me before, I think maybe my arms just weren't awake yet. who knows. Anyway, felt good, by the end my legs felt heavy, again, I think its just that they weren't awake yet.

Im trying to be all sunshine and roses, but today I wanted to quit the whole time. I dont know why it felt so hard today. I really do try NOT to complain, bc I really DO love running, I guess I can say that I would rather have gone today and had it been hard, then not be able to run at all. I AM grateful for running. It IS my sanity, my pride, and my happy place.

It's been a long time since I ran 6 days in a row. Right now, I guess its more important that I get in the miles then worrying about how fast Im going right? Because I am going really slow lately. Im going to focus on quantity right now rather than quality.

I hope it went well for you JD on the marathon today! I kept thinking on my run today "am I crazy?? I signed up to do a freakin marathon!"
