Ran 12 miles at 8:45 ave pace.  It was a great run.  A couple hours after I started feeling super queesy.  I ended up having some sort of stomach bug for the next 24 hours.  It was NOT fun at all.  I was starving from running but couldn't even think about food without wanting to puke.  I was really just crawling around on the floor while yelling at my kids to help me out.  Not a good day!

Ran 6 miles with Ryan...forgot to charge the garmin so it died on Justin when he handed it over to me this morning after his run.  I WILL fit in some yoga today.  I have been too tired due to the heat to actually do more than 15 minutes of yoga but I love it.

My very early morning started at 4:00 am...ran 8 miles with Ryan ave pace 9:20...it was hot!  Came home and picked up my book I couldn't put down last night and read until everyone in my house started moving at 7:00.  Did lots of abs and 80 pushups.  I have to clean a house later so I know I will be tired today but it was worth it!
