Today since I am going to Six Flags I didn't want to go running to far because I didn't want to be totally wiped before Six Flags. So I decided to go for a short run. I just went to the usual two loops around the random trails but instead of doing the full four miles I only did three. I tried to go faster on this run than I was usually doing but I did do it. It made me feel good because on the uphills I was really trying to push and that was nice,,,,, even though I couldn't breathe very well..... Six Flags here I come!!!!!!

This morning since it is my last day in Colorado I decided to keep the run short but longer than yesterdays. But as soon as I left the house I  saw hot air balloons just shooting off just as yesterday. Which was really cool because I got to watch them the entire run. I was feeling really sluggish throughout the entire run today, probably from spending all day at six flags. But since I am going on a longer run I had to do more laps around the park to make it an even but I accidently did an extra lap so I didn't have to weave in and out of streets to finish out the last little bit. As soon I got to the end of the street I couldn't breathe so I had to go at a slower pace. This elevation difference is absolutely killing me!

Couldn't run today because we were driving home from Colorado. When we got home I got food poisoning.

Was sick today, I guess what I thought was food poisoning yesterday was not food poisoning. So no running for me today

This morning I was feeling a bit better but I did not have nearly the energy to go to practice, I decided to take one more day off.

This morning I was going to go to practice but I woke up like 12 times in the night. When I finally went to sleep for a while, I woke up again and my throat was nearly closed over meaning I could barely breathe out of it. I went to the doctor and they said I had strep throat so I couldn't go to practice. They said as soon as my sore throat goes away I can start running again.
