Personal:

I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

UM...... I felt like I had never run a day in my life this morning. I ran real easy the first mile and then wanted to do a marathon pace mile just to feel the speed I am planning on running. After the marathon pace mile I almost passed out and I had to sit down. Then ran the last mile real easy home. I felt light headed and nausea the whole time.

My asthma has been bad this week so maybe my brain just isn't getting enough oxygen.

Not a really good feeling just 4 days before I am going to run a marathon.

I keep looking at my splits and feel a bit puzzled as to why those miles made me sick. WHATEVER!

Blessing.. The Temple, I am going tonight I am really looking forward to it. I love it there!!!

Britta - I hope it is a combination of asthma and prerace hypochondria. Good luck in the marathon and take care!

I 2nd Maurine and Ryan. Our mind plays games before marathons. It stinks! I'm so excited to see how you do!

Ryan, Thanks! How are you feeling?

Michelle, I so wish I had had more time to run with you. Don't be too excited to see how I do, I am not banking on this being a PR but either way it will be fun to do such a big marathon.

Britta,

My guess is that it's the asthma. I hope you are remembering to take your meds.

Also, don't ask me why but eating applesauce everyday seems to help my asthma a bit. Maybe it's psychological ... don't ask!! :)

You will do great on Saturday! :)
