Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance

not good....so very tire. (I am with ya McKenzie!!). look at that I can't even complete my words. TIRED. I ran so very slowly this morning. I almost bagged the entire run because the first mile was like a 9:34. I just could NOT get moving or get my legs to feel like my legs. I wore my new Brooks Pureflow (I had to trade them in because I swore something was wrong with the way the right shoe was made, but now I am ALSO having problems with the new pair). In all this trialing of shoes I have liked my Altras the best. I think they flattened my feet out so very well that when I put shoes on with any sort of hold on my feet I don't like it, nor my body. Blah. I am like the "Princess and the Pea" . I notice anything in my alignment that is off and my mind can't let go of it. Hence my utter failure (as if I needed to bring this up again) at SGM with the whole NEW sock scenario. My feet are ultra sensitive. Blah again. I am at some sort of low point. Hopefully this means I will be good as new by Saturday but I am not too hopeful....I work ALL day tomorrow at Utah Valley Hospital in the NICU then I have to drive back home here in PG, pack the remaninder of my things (this will be about 7:15 pm then leave about 7:45pm for St. George, getting in about 1130pm after TWO very long days of work, non stop and my head (currently still spinning) just utterly and completely exhausted. So miracles for me on Saturday? I don't know. I just don't know. I am sick and tired of any all of my races being after I work two days in a row!!! It is just how I have my schedule---th, fr then weekend off!! I can't even change it. It is a set schedule. I will stop complaining. I just have a headache and I am moody. I need to relax. I am overstimulated from running around all day taking care of 10 patients!! AP 8:42 for 8 miles.

Misery loves company! We are not miserable just fatigued. So....Fatigued loves Fatigued :) Today was better~ food does help! We need to do a 20 miler together soon. Your doing AWESOME and Boston is going to be so FUN! ( trying to be positive)

Hope the race goes well and you're feeling good.

About the next long run together, the JAJAs are free both weekends so whatever is the most convenient for you will work great (we will all be doing long run by that point). Should be a good time :o) Let me know!

:( Julie!!! You will be okay. I can't even imagine running 8 miles after working on my feet a 12 hour day. Try to stay positive and believe in yourself.

P.S. Stay away from the bad water at the hospital today and stop by my office and say "hi" if you have a chance. Maybe I should call the Manager of NICU and see if they will let you leave early!

April, just got to a computer and already my husband is impatiently waiting for me. I am in California at a Best Western on the Beach then we are on to a Cruise (4day) with the kids tomorrow to Mexico (Ensenada) and will be gone until next week. Will try and post some workouts but I don't think the cruise will have internet. I shockingly ran well on apparently a harder course this year (actually felt easy to me)--- 1:28:16-- 9 th overall. Stayed with 1:30 pacer until 6 miles and then somehow drifted ahead-- ran 6:19 for 8th mile!! report to follow but off to the beach, husband waiting. First master runner!
