7 very easy miles before work.  tired.  pulled self out of bed at 4:35am.  ran in circles.  off to a long day at work.  AP in my trail shoes 8:52.  Amazing it has been a year since Squaw Peak 50+ miler.  This year the SNOW FALL is so bad that the course was redirected to avoid the BIG CLIMBING through the snow.  A faster year from what I hear.  But it was the warmest day so far this year.  Yikes.  That happened last year too.   7 DAYS UNTIL A NEW MARATHON PR.  OH YAH!! : D

BIG OH YEAH! I wish this injury had not happened! I love coming to the end of that race and running people in. But I will look forward to your report! You are going to do so well.

I'm excited for you!! New marathon PR? Yahoo! I will look for you come race day. What time are you planning on? 3:00? I think you have that in you.

3:10 or better. Body starting to crumble. Mind was IN THE GAME. It is arguing with my body. Not sure why I am having major numbness and burning nerve attacks...I think I might have to camp up high in the mountains to DETOX!!! Say a little prayer for me : D.

From Kelli on Mon, Jun 06, 2011 at 13:32:26 from 71.219.96.115

Pre-race jitters, that is all. The body falls apart before the race so it will be ready on race day.

I wish it was so. But it isn't anything that is going to stop me from being there at the start and fighting for my PR. It burns like no other in my head, neck, arm, down my lower back and thru my calf to my foot. I think it has something to do with doing a whiplash paces. I don't think 42 year old women are supposed to run 6:22 miles :D. So for me this Saturday it is all about taking it down and making it happen, no whiplash : D.

NOPE, I am going to still say pre-race crappolla! You WILL feel great on race day!

From JulieC on Tue, Jun 07, 2011 at 17:23:04 from 70.56.110.194

if only it were that simple-- I have had these flares for a long time...I just don't visit the Dr. anymore (just a female practitioner in emergency)since my brain surgery. My calf feels like someone has a rubber band around it as does my arm and side of my face. I begrudgingly just took a steroid-- prednisone to see if it can calm this INTENSE burning. Someday, but not in the next four days, I will find some answers. I will still be at the race and three miles into it endorphins will kick in. I am just hoping they last until mile 26.2 :D. IN St. george marathon 2007 I had to take a benadryl-- because of a bad flare of nerve pain. It was all I had. I think I also took about 5 ibuprofen in the race along with antacids. I don't take either any longer in races--- big mistake in Squaw Peak last year. In fact I am thinking of wearing a shirt that says "Caffeine Free" because I don't even take caffeinated gus/gels, they don't "gel" with my body. I love how my body is making me focus on IT rather than the RACE.

Well, then, MISSY, you are just plain tough and you will do great!
