I went to the Dr. today. I should say I was very happy with the outcome. I didn't know what to expect, but I was hoping he wouldn't be opposed to helping me recover quickly.
He "threw the book at me"... I am hoping that by the AM on Sat. I will start feeling better.
Thanks for the kind words Mary :) I think I may be able to save this yet. Another big run due on Sun. this will be my last one......
AHH!

My Worst Nightmare...
Is coming true!
I am officially getting sick! and I am freaking out. I have 2 weeks from Sunday, going to the Dr. today.
Last night was my running day and I wasn't up to going. So I went to bed at 8pm, woke up at 4:10 and tried to run at 4:30. I got in two miles, barely and had to stop.
I feel like someone punched me in the chest. I also am getting feverish.
This sucks!

Another Distance Run!
I did it... Finally I did it.
Sunday, had to get my run in. So I took a different method. Since the SRQ Marathon has water every 2 miles, I decided that I would walk the waters. To accomplish this during training I simply walk every 2 miles.
I started at 11:30 Focusing on the first 8 miles. I was able to complete them in 79:40. This is under a 10minute pace. Grabbed my powerbar GelPak and started the next 8.
The second 8 was slightly longer: 80:40 just over the 10 minute pace. During this segment my belly got hungry fortunately for me, the gym was open so I was able to get a protein bar to eat.
Now at 16 miles, I felt pretty good. So I continued. I got through another 4 miles. Taking me to a new high of 20miles.
Yes 20 miles in 3:22:30 This turns out to be a 10:08 min/mile pace!
Am I happy? YES! This is great, this means that I only have 2 make it 6 more miles. This I know I can do. It is just about taking the time to do it. I have no doubt it will probably be the slowest part of the entire race. My goal, however is to finish!
My Goal: 4:30:00
My Predicted finish: 4:43:00
I am again feeling hopeful!
Thanks for reading,
