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 8 miles at 9:08 ave pace.  I was really slow due to my stomach bug.  I am feeling so much better today though.  Even managed to get in lots of abs ( I am sick of abripperX).  Also pushups.

Ran 10 slower miles with Ryan.  Then took the girls to see UP.  I thought it was hilarious.  Went swimming with the girls.  Did @500 abs and 80 pushups (regular and girl}.

Ryan and I ran 17 miles at 9:15 pace.  We ran at a really cool park called Audobon and along the Mississippi River.  It was a great run for me today!
