It was so humid this morning and my stomach was not cooperating. I threw up in my month twice. I was planning on 5x800. The first 800 was a piece of cake, but the next 2 were pure torture!! Also, I got to the track later than usual and the place was PACKED!!! I felt self conscious with all these people watching me be sick and exhausted while doing my 800's.

We ran winchester hills to worthen park. The first mile was kind of a warm-up mile. Felt good... I might have ran too fast. I will find out in two days if that's the case. Splits: 7:24, 6:56, 6:40, 6:48, 6:47, 6:48, 6:51, 6:48

Went to an evening yoga class. This was the first time in months that my back finally released much of its tighness.

I can't believe I held pace. My pace just felt like I was dragging. It was dark and I had no idea what i was hitting on my mile splits. The first mile was a warm up and uphill. Mile 2 was downhill and the rest was flat and low rollers. Splits: 7:50, 7:04, 7:00, 7:02, 7:01

Ran in Salt Lake City while visiting my sister. Ran up 2200 for 5 miles and back. I was just exhausted during this entire run. The first 5 miles was slightly uphill and I managed that okay. Coming back I was just beat. I was so happy to stop at intersections to wait for a green light. Average pace 7:18
