finally feeling better.  texted kim.  she was just leaving her house.  i raced in my car to find her. found her up by the silos/manila pond.   we ran up to and beyond the entrance to AF canyon a mile.  She was on 1.4 miles when i got to her.  i wasn't dressed and was in bed when i saw she said she was leaving her house.  so i started with a nice uphill mile, slowing her down after her warm up with a 8:53 mile.  Then 8:28, 8:17, 7:45 (half up half down),  7:23 half down, half  UP, 7:05, 6:37 (down), 7:18 (half down, half up)  AVG 7:43

2 mile warm up at 8:23 avg (1 percent incline).  Then two miles at 4 percent incline 7:30 pace.  NO stop until here.  Stretched and got water and well caught my breath!! then ran 6 miles at -2 percent-- 6:49, 6:44, 6:40, 6:35, 6:31, and 6:23 (last lap upped the pace to 10 mph from 6:27). Avg for six miles 6:37 pace (39:43, nice 10 k time, huh? :D, with the 0.2 miles that would be 41 flat!!!

NO real collective sleep.  maybe 3 hours.  Awoke with neck pain that I needed my husband to massage out at 2 am.  This course was on. Paced BCC Marathon.  3:35 pacer in 3:31:39.  was doing well but got a little carried away on some downhill even ahead with two bathroom stops.  But last four miles were tough.  I ran out of glycogen, which is good cause then I ran even slower.  So instead of almost the 3:30 pacer I was three min under the 3:35. It was not bad out of canyon until mile 23.  The out and back was 'honest" course and mile 4 being good up.  So 9.2 of good honestly but to me the downhill at beginning was way too steep for me to get it in gear so luckily it kept me back like I needed.  Two gus.  Smores and peanut butter both WITHOUT caffeine.  Met some great people on the course!!  Slightly worried about feeling this wall at saint george.  But I assume if I taper and not actually do a hard work out on wednesday (8 miles of fast) and running 8 yesterday and the day before in 92 degrees at 230 pm I may be strong enough to get through it and run the 3:20 I want.
