Now I know why my pathetic run felt okay yesterday. I have a cold that is zapping my running energy. I think in a non running body I would probably be more sick and feel tired during the day. I feel fine..have energy to cook and clean and do things around the house but once I start running...yuck. I knew I was in trouble before my race today when the warm up felt hard and I wanted my running partner to slow down for me...pathetic. Amanda was hoping to be able to keep up with me. She took off in the first quarter and I never caught up. I ran the first half in 13:40..felt like I was gonna die..then I finally started feeling alive and ran the second half in 12:29. I was totally bummed to be beat by my partner but totally happy for her time when she thought she couldn't do it. yay for Amanda.......I'm excited for her and thinking she'll be able to do tempo runs with me now.
