3 Weeks until the Half Marathon
Distance: 13.95 miles
Time: 2 hours 14 minutes
Avg Pace Per Mile: 9:40
Last long run! There is really nothing that can test your dedication like running 14 miles (almost, I think my GPS was whacked) with a very, very, very upset stomach. There's a stomach flu going around. My sister-in-law and her whole crew came down with it last week. I haven't been around them but the power of suggestion? Who knows. What I do know is on Saturday I wondered if I was going to be able to complete my Sunday run. Then Sunday came along and I felt fine in the morning. By the time Kevin woke up I was once again questioning my ability to run.
The two reasons I made it: 1) I had to come back here and tell you about it; 2) My stomach was completely empty.
I'm still not 100% but impressed Kevin with my ability to "eat my way out of the stomach flu." And according to MyFittnessPal, if every day was like this one I would lose 25 pounds in 5 weeks! Well, if that's all it takes! Bring on the salmonella and 15 milers.
