Amazing how you can feel so dang good one week and the next feel so crappy! Had a very tough run today. Ran down the marathon course with club (well behind them). All of us ran together for the first 3 and then it was me, james and dustin. I stopped for a potty break around6 and from then one I was a lone ranger. Got a horrible cramp on the right side of my stomach that would not budge! Oh I was hoping someone I knew would drive by and pick me up, good thing I dont carry a cell phone cuz i for sure would have called my hubby to come and get me. Saw some girls I know and stopped and walked with them for about 5 min and then headed on again. I am so glad I finished and i did not die (because I thought I might at times j/k : )

It was a death march for me today as well.

Ugly but done. Glad you didn't die! I bet it was pretty hot this morning. Hooray for day of rest!

Glad you did not die - that would have been very tragic! You did great - way to stick with it and finish your run!

Sad thing was, we really hadn't been done too long either! It was a beastly week.

Good job Marcie, sorry I didn't wait up for you. I knew I wanted to push the middle section of the run a little, I knew once I would hit the steeper downhill, my hip would be hurting and I would be slowing down. I did stop a few times and James came in right after me, and you really weren't that far back! Enjoy the weekend and hopefully you'll feel better on Monday. I just took an hour long nap, yet still don't feel the greatest. I really need to get in some more longer runs like what we did today.
