Got called into work on Peds.   Four hours into my shift I began to feel intense nausea.  Eventually sent home with stomach flu.   It was very bad.  Vomiting hit an hour later.  Shaking and chills when I got home.  So glad someone came in for me.  I couldn't make it any longer.  I felt bad to leave my patients high and dry but can't work sick obviously.  This flu lasted all weekend. Worst part was  first 24 hours. Quite queasy rest of time.

saucony fives.  8 easy.  6.9mph first mile increasing by 0.1 mph each mile til done. Last mile picking it up in last few tenths.  1 percent incline.  Taking four days off with flu was a good move as I didn't feel weak at all.

progressive run.  starting at 6.9 mph and increasing pace by 0.2mph every half mile til 7 miles. Acutally when I got to 5.5 miles I increased only by 0.1 mph but last half mile to 7 miles I increased pace by 0.1 mph every 0.05 miles.  Ha ha.  Ended at 9.7 mph. ran earlier than usual as my running friends took me to breakfast at Kneaders.  I now have five new running tops. So even though I won't be PRing in pace I will in my wardrobe.  So thankful for good friends.  AP today 7:36.

20 miles down Wallsburg start up Provo canyon.   Freezing. 17 degrees at start.  At mile 5 I was at 7:15 ap behinds the speed demons Melanie jane and Julie esplin.  So cold I never warmed up.  Got to 16 and thought I can't wait here for them to come get me (canyon glen park) I will freeze to death. So  after about 8 minutes I began to run the remainder miles to my car.  Ap to that point 7:3.   Then last four were 8:03 ap.    So total ap 7:38 for 20.  First 20 in five months. Nothing over 13 miles and that was once.
