10%

This week I officially have lost 10% of my weight since starting running. Yea me! Of course, the whole, not feeling like eating due to an upset stomach really helped things along. Now I just need to be very careful not to put it all back on with the traditional General Conference Dunkin' Donuts sitting in my dining room.

T-minus one week

OK, so we are exactly one week out. One week from this exact moment, I will be headed down to Baltimore for my big race. Sounds pretty good right? Well, except for the last little snag. My training partner and I have been sick. I guess it's better that we're sick this week, instead of next, but well, how annoying. Our last week to train, and we have not been able to. I'm starting to feel better. This morning, I was feeling pretty good except for the desire to throw up at any given moment. But seriously, other than that one little thing, totally feeling fine. My partner is a few days behind me getting sick, today she has a fever. Her kids had H1N1, and were really sick for several days. I really hope that we are both well by the time the race comes around. It's just kind of frustrating because we did everything so right! We started way early so that we could go slow and avoid injury. We trained smart, and hard. We extended our longest run to 12 miles, so that we knew that we could do it. And now this. Urg..... Oh well, wish us luck for our speedy recovery.
