Saturday.... TATURs are holding Route 66 mock marathon/half-marathon. It's been 4 days since I ran at all. I've been trying to get myself back to good health. I'm doing everything except make a trip to the doctor. The good thing is I'm not running any fever. My stomach and throat is giving me all sorts of heck.
I woke up saturday morning around 6am. I felt ok, and started preparing for a long, slow run. So I thought I'll go and run at least 15 miles. If I'm feeling bad, I'll just shut it down.
I started out slow,,,started at the very back. I kept up a steady pace up to 11 miles...felt pretty good. I was doing a 9:13 pace...I thought, dang it... I'm going to fast. 11 mile was our turnaround. On the way back, I slowed down quite abit..specially the last 3 miles. I ended up with 9:53 pace for the last 11 miles. Dang it again... I was still going abit fast. At the end, I felt good. My stomach did give me some problems around mile 18, I walked it off, and it did get better later on. I went home and took a long nap. Finally, I'm getting better.
Sunday, I'll do a short 10 miler.

Good to hear you're shaking the bug. I'm getting pretty antsy about the run. I wish they'd just let us go on down and get started right now.
hey TZ... yep...I'm ready to git going. I might just start right now... from El Reno to Elk City. WOW!! that would be a challenge. I think I'll do that on the last leg of MR series...go from finish to start, then start to finish. Yeah!!!!
That would be COOL. Not too many tough enough to do that!
