Ran with Ralphie before work nice and easy.  7 miles at 7:46.  Poor guy got covered in salt and mud and needed a bath when finished.  Now he smells good

Worst Long Run EVER!

Never felt comfortable and on the verge of puking the whole time. Almost pooped myself at mile 9. Ate a sublime lime gu at mile 10 and it tasted like green curry. Below up at mile 15. Fell hard on the ice at mile 16 and ran mile 17 and 18 at 9/mile pace. Kill me. 18 mile at 7:48

Ran with both dogs together before work.  They were really well behaved which makes me happy.  Relaxed pace: 7 miles at 7:48

 I'm feeling super sluggish.  I think it's a combination of the horrible long run with some mild stomach virus thing.  No energy, constantly upset stomach and achy.  Hope it's over soon

Mid-week long run.  7miles with ralphie at the park, dropped him off and got sadie for the last 5 miles.  Nice relaxed pace (7:42). It's amazing how I could feel so horrible last week and so great this week. It all goes in cycles I guess
