So my friend Im running the marathon with is following this schedule that is a schedule for people running their first marathon. We printed out two. One is for finishers one is for people trying to get their PR. So we decided to kind of mix and mingle the two. When I run with her, I will follow it, when I run alone, I will do what I want to do. The Hobble Creek falls perfectly into the schedule so thats good. But since I feel like Im past that already, I will try and do more on days Im not with her. This is her first thing back after having a baby so we are in different places. But it's all good. It was a beautiful morning.  Perfect temp. It was fun to get up and meet her again. It's been a loonngg time. She is the person that I first started running with. We learned together, so it's fun to be training for our first marathon together.

I spoke too soon about how I haven't gotten sick in a long time. I woke up with  a sore throat and a conjested head. bummer.

Went to bed feeling like crap, woke up feeling like crap. Feel a little better now. Going to try for tomorrow morning, even if I end up doing some walking. I need to get out there.

30 minute elliptical, It felt good to get my heart rate up again but my  throat and lungs didn't care too much for it. Too bad for them. It's hard to get up in the morning when you are laying in bed and cant breathe, but It did feel good to breathe hard a little bit later in the morning. Im still waiting for the dang motor on the treadmill to show up, Im a bit annoyed its taking so long. Im going to do some weights now and drink a couple of gallons of water throughout the day, It's getting much better, I will back in business in no time.

Edit: Its now evening and I have felt worse for the last 4 or so hours then I have the whole time. Im hoping that it is at it's worse and can only get better from here. Is is possible that the little exercise I did only hurt me?

Whoppin 6 miles this week. That is crap. I felt okay today, mostly I just couldn't go one more day without doing something. I ran the first mile, walked for a bit and then ran down a hill so I could go up another, I wanted to see if pushing it up a hill would clear out my lungs a bit. Time will tell. I feel kind of tingly and lightheaded, but happy I went a little bit.
