I coach high school swim and love it!

met Melody and Emily at the intermural field and ran to the track. My goal for today was to work on focus and relaxing, I really didn't know what i was goint to do but I just wanted to do it well. The other two decided they were going to do 800 so I decided to use them to pace me for 400. Today was successful:) Stayed right behind Melody and then passed her on the home stretch every time. Of course she continued on for her 800 but it felt good to stay with her for a lap. I did 4x400 which were all .26 on my watch 1:23, 1:21, 1:22, 1:19 way faster than I thought I was going to do. stretching

I think my body goes in cycles of handling marathon and not handling them, right know it's not.  But I am okay with that, kind of.

Got a good night sleep got up at 5 and ate some oatmeal with pb and honey mixed in and drank my drink.  My mom came and got me and McKenzie and Mel drove us up to the start, got there at 6:30 and used the john talked some and then it was time to start.   The jist of it is I felt really good through the half and even up till 20 and then my body shut down, stomach revolted and at 25 I completely lost it, basically crawled up the over pass and then jogged to the finish and passed out.  I just need to figure out my nutritional needs,  which is all ways my problem.  I figured them out a couple of years ago and need to go back to using what i used then, I'm a slow learner I guess.  I am satisfied and ready to take a break, need to figure out my SI and hammy issue before I do another one of these.  In retrospect I think Boston took a lot more out of me than I thought.

1-7:04 Ran the first 20 with McKenzie  we had a good o'ld time

2-6:59 these two are down south fork and just wanted to run them easy, and it felt that way.

3-7:16

4-7:04

5-7:03

6-7:11 These first miles just flew bye I didn't believe Mac when she said we were at 6

7-7:14 the miles are feeling good and comfortable

8-7:18

9-7:18

10-7:18

11-7:26

12-7:15

13-7:08

13.1- 1:34ish and felt fabulous and was ready to go

14-7:15

15-7:23 realized that my stomach was starting to bother me and I was not really handling the little gu I was taking 

16-7:46  the coarse really flattens out and get hard at this point

17-7:46

18-7:53

19-8:07

20-8:25 starting on the path witch is up and starting to really struggle

21-8:29

22-8:45 taking it a mile at a time

23-8:41

24-8:52

25-8:56

26-10:32 crawled over the over pass 

.27-2:41 crossed the line and crashed to the ground, stone cold and grey as a ghost.  laid there for some time and then they carried me to the medic tent and laid there for I don't know how long.  They wanted to call an ambulance but I wouldn't let them.  I really felt like a dork!  I think my blood sugar dropped super low.  I am going to take the next while and figure things out but as of know I want to take a year off marathoning and get my low back figured out,  Does anyone know of any witch doctor that work miracles?
