After one hour and thirty-three minutes of running on Saturday morning ... a very nauseous and sweaty Curly headed girl from Staten Island reached her home after 8 miles of running and nearly threw up!
The whole nauseous factor for me was about my allergies being horrible since Wednesday's run, and running in the morning, a lot of mucus still sitting in my head. Enough said about that. Quite honestly - there were a few points where I was tired and had those thoughts of "why am I doing this to myself"... but all in all, I felt really hopeful about my run, my pace, how I felt and my legs not really being that tired. My breathing was a little rough through the end - I think because of the weather getting hotter as I ran in the morning, and the allergies combined.
Like Coach Jonathan says, "you run, I think". So I'm going to keep reminding myself of that... this marathon training, as I've said before, is so much more mental and emotional for me than it is physical.
On that note, would love to share an amazing short video that someone from the RUN MS team made last year, great quotes, great images and very inspiring:

Skipped yesterdays pick up run, will do that today or tomorrow depending on how I'm feeling. I was concerned about going two days without running, but was told that's fine, as long as my weekly mileage adds up to 15-20 miles and increased the way it's suppose to on a weekly basis.
Doing all this food journaling for the nutritionist has been eye opening. I really don't eat frequently enough at all... working on that this week.
One day at a time, one run at a time......
xoxoxo

p.s. Thank you to the ever so handsome Miguel.. though he didn't inspire me to run (away from him) just meeting him provided all kinds of inspiration ;) lol
