Blessings and Balance

Averaged 8:17. I felt great and can't wait for St. George.

PANIC!!!!! No I am not going to panic!!

My husband and my 4 year old are sick! They both threw up late last night so I headed down to sleep in the guest room to get away from them. When I came up this morning and discovered my daughter threw up 5 more times and my husband 3 more. I felt so bad, I had abandoned them.

I was thinking that it was just food poisoning with their symptoms until I went to get my baby out of bed and he had thrown up in the middle of the night as well. I felt so bad that nobody heard him puke or new he was even sick.

The baby seems fine today and has even been eating. My husband and daughter are keeping liquids down so that is encouraging.

I am washing my hands and praying a ton.

I can't get sick! I won't get sick!!!

Evening...Ran 2.5 miles. Ran 3x400 in the mix. Averaged 8:20.

Walk, run today! It was great to take it easy and talk with my running partner. It helped with the jitters! Good Luck everyone!

Pouring Rain!!! I actually really enjoyed the rain. Besides the fact that my fingers were so frozen I could not get to my energy snack I brought (sweedish fish) I really thought the rain was kind of fun! I ran really well until about mile 21, my knee gave out on me and I almost fell over. After the one time of almost callapsing it didn't happen again.

I was really happy with the over all outcome and I felt mentally strong. I crossed the finish line thinking "is it really over all ready". I would have loved to qualify for Boston (3:40 for my age and gender), but I PR'd by 28 min. I would have to be crazy to be dissapointed.

I relied so much on prayer through out training and through out the race. I know heavenly father was with me and I am so grateful he is mindful of my desires.

What a blessing it is to have health!!!!!!!
