Sunday, February 1st 2009
Finished the Tallahassee 1/2 marathon in 2 hours and 31 minutes. That placed me 352 over all... and 26th in my age group. I will take it. All that matters is that medal I am proudly posting now in my photo that says "finisher". Yippee!!! I feel great. My knees are a bit sore, but my breathing was great, my energy consistent, and I ran (well jogged) the whole event. Awesome. I had a plan, I would only stop running at the aid stations, then I would allow myself to walk through dr...420 Calories in 3 Servings of Oreos... Let this be a warning to you...

Do not bring the Oreos into the the house. This is a warning. I just ate not one, not two, but three servings of Oreos, and for the record, that is only 6 cookies! Yowch!!! Good thing it is early and I have lots of running to do tonight. I better add squats, push-ups and crunches just to be on the safe-side! It is dreary, and I am suffering without my sunshine. I need it bad, it has me in a funk. It has been cloudy and dreary here for over a week, and it is finally wearing on me. I NEED...Adult Onset Asthma?

I have been dealing with some wheezing and coughing off and on, but the last two nights have been bad. Tonight on my run I actually had what I would consider an attack at about 1.4 miles. The description that I have heard, that now makes sense to me, is feeling like you are breathing under water. It was scary. I slowed to a walk and made it home, although still wheezing, it was not nearly as bad. I did an albuterol treatment, and now I am just shaky from the meds, but feel so much better. ...Played Hooky with One of My Girls

So it was just a runny nose, but you can't ever be too sure about these things. I wouldn't want her to give it to anyone in her preschool. Or... mommy really needed a valid excuse to ditch work today. Truly, she did have a runny nose! Truly work would have driven me nuts today!!! It was nice to share some time with Alex. My twin girls are a handful together, really good girls, just very busy. I vegged out watching the inauguration most of the day. We spent some time outside working in th...5.36 Miles... not a bad day at all.

I really pumped it on the first mile again tonight. Uphill and still made it in a 9.5 minute mile. I think it was the last 9.5 minute mile of the night, but that is another story.My brother ran the 1/2 marathon route today because he was paranoid about the grade. He said that it is really flat, so that should be a welcome change for me. My daily route is nothing but hills, so when I get to run where it is pretty flat, it is a relief.
Eating was under control today. That is a ...
