This had to be in the top 3 hardest runs I ever did.  I started out feeling yuck and kept thinking it would get better.  At mile 5, I broke down and took a power gel and thought that would help. It never did.  I had made up my mind to do 10 so I finished, but I literally cried when I walked in the front door and my husband asked me if I was ok.  I think maybe I was severly dehydrated or something. That is what it felt like, but I had drank lots the night before and a bottle before running this morning, so I am not sure. My average pace was 8:35/mile which is so frustrating.....maybe tomorrow will be better.

Dear Wind,

Please do not blow in my face when I am trying to run EVERY single morning.  It's very rude and inconsiderate.

Thank you,

Julie

For the first time in weeks, I ran on the tm. The ole Gold's Gym is getting busy again. Blah! I haven't done the math yet, but my average pace was somewhere around 8:20/min.

Did a late afternoon run at Gold's. It was hot and it was during the time of day that I am feeling the most drag so it wasn't my best shot, but I did ok. Getting some excersise in is always better than none right? I had to go late because my hubster ran the Hobble Creek Half this morning and I got to go watch him. Well, he was so fast all I saw was a blurr. J/K. But he did do it in 1:34 which was a minute faster than last year and he was 22nd in his age group so I was impressed. He is an awesome runner. Someday maybe he will join frb.
