Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
10.10	0.00	10.10

10.1 miler-- that hilly route in the foothills of PG. Now why is my left leg sore? Oh yah, it was dragging my right leg Saturday night. I also have this weird nerve impulse in my left abdominal muscle by my belly button. Its been there since Saturday night. It feels like little fingers dragging on my skin from the inside in short impulses. I think I pulled that muscle too in my 180 degree twist and send off from the TM last Tuesday. I didn't feel my right quad hurting until downhills around mile 6.5. Glad this race is a flat course this Saturday. Ran easy today. First mile 9:16. Last mile 7:08. Felt very malaligned still. Just got a coupon for money off my chiropracter but is good for Wednesday only. I will wait until then after work. Luckily he is open until 7pm. No big hard workouts planned anyway. A forced taper. Hopefully it pays off. I expect a time of 1:32 or better. But hey I might fall again. I have had this fear lately whenever I run now. I see myself falling. Must start visualizing "strong Julie" to cure this. Today I started out in rain then brief hail then brief windchill then breaks in the clouds to reveal a BLUE sky. : D. Temp above 30. A huge RELIEF. : DDDDDD. AP for 10.1 miles= 8:08.

I've been away, didn't realize you took a spill? NICE run! You are so ready for SG 1/2. Can't wait to read your report!!!

From seeaprilrun on Mon, Jan 17, 2011 at 19:45:48 from 68.103.248.137

So glad you are up and running and feeling better! You will have an awesome race!

Allie just so you know. I don't have grey hair. That is frost : D. Smooth-- have a good read with last Tuesday's entry. It was QUITE the fall, albeit VERY EMBARRASSING!!!

Oh man, I am gonna get a good butt kicking this Saturday :) Good thing I can only race against myself! If you're feeling off your game and can't run it you're always welcome to come push and yell at me to hit a measly 1:45!!

I also didn't realize you'd taken a spill, I must go back and read. Enjoy the forced taper, it will leave you stronger and better prepared for Saturday. Can't wait to see you down there.

THAT is what you calling taking it easy? That is a heck of an easy pace you crazy fast woman!

What did I miss? You fell off the treadmill?

Kelli, I left my TM running as I ran to get a drink of water during SW last Tuesday. Another girl started talking to me (shame on her) and I looked up answering her and walked on to my moving TM without thinking. Actually just a split second I realized what I was doing--too late by then and I went crashing down on my hands, then shoulder then butt then flung sideways on to the ground. IT HURT LIKE NO other fall I have taken. Glad to be alive, no broken bones. It took until today to feel perhaps some thought I will totally heal from that catastrophe. Lesson Learned.

From JulieC on Tue, Jan 18, 2011 at 13:26:08 from 71.35.248.139

It was running at 6.7 mph (8:57 pace).

From Kelli on Tue, Jan 18, 2011 at 15:06:26 from 71.219.84.215

Rachel filled me in on your TM accident this morning while we ran. OUCH!!!!

From Smooth on Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 00:15:03 from 67.232.119.27

Just read your TM mishap from last Tue! OUCH! Yip you would've made You-tube! :)
