Sunday

September 13, 2009 - Lewis & Clark Marathon

Short summary:

First half - feeling pretty good except for the heat. Just before the half-way point I start hyperventilating, for no apparent reason.

Second half - walk/jog intervals and hours of trying to suppress inexplicable panic. If it hadn't been for Beth staying with me the WHOLE time, I would have quit. Thanks Bethie! You're AWESOME!!!!

In the end, I finished. I sucked at it, but I finished none-the-less.

Tuesday

September 8, 2009 - 4 miles

So sluggish. My time was 47:19 but I'm not positive it was a full 4 miles. Maybe. Either way, I don't think my legs work anymore. And I'm really worried about the marathon on Sunday. I can't even get going on these shorter runs. Plus I have barely run the last two weeks or so as it is! =(

Wednesday

September 2, 2009 - 4 miles

Today I ran four miles. Yesterday should have been four and today should've been six but that didn't happen. But I'm doing better than last week! My hips are still tight but usually feel better after a mile. I ran the one-mile loop at work stopping only to get gravel out of my shoe. I finished in 44:54.
