Did the Little red ridinghood bike ride for the huntsman cancer institute with Jenn H.  We stayed the night up in a little small town about 15 miles past Logan.  The ride was beautiful and we had a great old time.  The biking community is so much different than the running, not bad just so different.  we took a wrong turn because the course was not marked well and actually went 52 mile but thats okay out time was 3:15 and 3:05 for the 50.  Finished and ate some food and went for a little run, felt like we were running slow but we still averaged 7:40's  Fun times and know I want to see how fast I can ride a 100 miler.

Got up with a terrible stomach ache that started yesterday, but I had the same thing last week and it went away so I just went for the run.  Felt awful but gutted my way through the run, stopping a couple time did 3 at MP but felt really bad did a 6:30, 6:40, 6:55 then the rest in the 7's with an avg pace of 7:08 came home and struggled through a new HiiT workout, then did a massage and babysat.  stomach just kept getting worse so after the baby was gone I laid down.  Got up and still pain, was starting to worry something was wrong but just kept telling myself it would pass.  Finally at about 7 I decided I needed to go see a doctor, went to the instacare and they told me to go to the emergency room so I did;  Long story short my appendix was extremely infected and need to be taken out. Boo on that now i can't run UVM and am out of competition for the grand slam.  oh well :( now I will probably do an alternate so I can at least complete the grand slam because I don't want to do this again.

Went out this morning with intensions of only walking, but I feel good have no pain so I decided to try running slowly.  It felt the same as walking so I kept going did take some walking breaks but it felt good to be able to run.  Didn't have a garmin on so i don't know how far or how slow it was but thats okay.  I do feel out of shape:(  I won a free entry into Des news Marathon so I need to get back in shape:-o walked about a mile or so.

Went up to SL and ran with Allie and Melanie C, James was super awesome and drove us up so we could run the last 17 of the Des News course and Allie was awesome to give me a play by play tour of the course and put water and stuff out on the course.  Such a great run, made it through and I feel good tonight.  Glad I did this today
