Threw-up all night. Body ached from throwing up so much- could barely get out of bed. Just need to recover so I can make it through my 25k this weekend. On the bright side- dropped 6 lbs...

This was just a mess of a race for me all around.... I ran an extra 1.5 miles (2nd year running the wrong out and back route...AHHH)

Didn't eat much before the race- couple bites of a granola bar. Started in the dark with the 50kers- didn't even think about running in the dark, luckily I only had to run half blind for about 10 minutes before the sun came up.

Legs felt fine but energy was low. Took B12 before the race and had 2 caffeine gels so that helped a little. stomach was uneasy the entire race. Ran 1st/2nd with the lead guy.

25kers started 2 hours after me. I think the times for the 25kers was messed up or I ran more than 1.5 miles more than them. My time was 4 minutes faster than last year, but I think I ran about 0.50 miles more last year. But compared to the other 25kers my time was slow. I still managed to come in 2nd woman, but my overall time was off.

Frustrating, but just have to redeem myself in the next race...

10 around the river. Legs feeling much better- still a little tender. Ran mile 4.5-5.5 barefoot on the asphalt. Feet were never more happy to be jammed back into sweaty socks and shoes!

2 mile w. 2x 3 mile at 10k pace with 400m (2.5 minute) recovery job between. Windy out but I nailed the workout. 6:44, 6:31, 6:31, 6:33, 6:33, 6:35 (last 3 with a head wind). My legs were tired by the last set- probably still a little residual from  the race.

Coach's mile. 6:12....slooooooowwwww.....

Didn't have time to warm up so jumped in the race and was off. Pace was 20 secons slower than last year... maybe b/c of the workout/long run the day before...
