Rode the bike for an hour due to lots of rain.  Also did 80 girl pushups and@450 variety of crunches.  I really need it to start cooling off so I can feel motivated again!

Ok so I am back!  We have had every sickness you can have for the month of October in this house.  First my kids had the flu or so I thought then it turns out they had strep thoat.  I unfortunately had some kind of sinus infection along with many other symptoms...Anyway I have felt super yucky and exhausted and have not ran for a week.   Today I had to go or else I was going to kill someone.  I hate when I can't run.  Also did abs and pushups.

Good race today.  I was happy with my time.  I was super tired the whole race...just recovering from sinus infection.  My ipod broke 2 miles into the race.  I thought I was doing terrible because of how tired I felt but my goal was 1:45 so I made it.
