wow cant believe i made it thru that depressing of a run. my cousin dropped by early this am for a visit. hadn't seen her in a while.  it seems our visits are further and further for no known reason...so when she comes it is one heck of a time.  bcause of her visit i left feeling more tired ....i slept 8 hours...and still wiped out?  i wanted to quit the first mile...but instead i just took it stride to stride.....so easy, no pushing....only saw mile laps..ahhh first mile 8:52.  thoght i was slower. i ran 8 miles rolling up....including 1.5 miles up af canyon.  i didnt stop once and no fuel on run. a couple sips of sour milk....ick.  threw that out ...before leaving. and a couple bites of a marathon bar that jane gave me for my birthday. i seriously wanted to lie down and just sit there but i did it. my heel is a angry thorn in all my running and today i did all i could to not aggravate it by running on the toes of my right foot and normal on left. felt so unnatural.  oh well. ap for 16 lonely miles 7:56.  nothing pushed cause i couldnt. all what i felt relaxed doing. really not a fun run though. need some estrogen and iron i think.   PM--520pm.  Rec center with Courtney and Amber.  Started with Courtney but finished with Amber.  AP 9:00.  10 mm with Courtney. 8 mm with Amber.  Upper body weights.  Ate a little too close to this workout so abs were very brief.  I could taste the squash soup.  Fine on run though.

Please don't let yourself get too depressed. You have absolutely not lost your ability, you're just dealing with injury, which can eventually be overcome. Plus, sub-8s for 16 feeling the way you do is just awesome!

Great job on sticking to your workout! It's more tough to stick to a stinky run than to hit a fast pace on a long run. You should be proud of your determination!!

Great words from the ladies above. I'm pretty sure I couldn't run 16 miles by myself right now if someone paid me. Running long alone is so hard.

Good job my friend! :)

I saw out this morning heading home!! For what it's worth, you looked great and very strong :) I hope everything starts to feel better!!

I should have come with you yesterday, the wind this morning was brutal!! I think sub-8 on a solo 16 mile run is pretty awesome!! Way to go Julie!

Yah i heard it at 5am and opted out of running before work. Not even going to run today. Iron took two doses to really help.
