Comments:
Allergies rough this morning. Of course, wind was blowing, stirring everything up. Before Sara picked me up at STARBZZ for our baby appt, had her bring a pill. Did the trick, thankfully.

Heard the heart beat today! Crazy! 160bpm...Loud and fast! Gosh it's all just becoming more real everyday.

As for the run. Wanted to go up to AUB, but once I got off work at around 3-ish, I laid down and didn't want to get up. Felt tired. Threw on Unbreakable and tried to nap.

Sara got home and I think woke me up (not sure if I ever truly fell asleep). Felt more rested so I headed out the door at 5:45pm.

Hamstrings pretty fatigued starting out. Was slow-going. In fact, could not find a rhythm for the life of me. Felt like I was "bouncing around!"...Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs8LIzObfH4

After 2.8mi's, got to the "Secret Trail" and just did like 3+laps around....So Just over 3mi's in there. Its rolling the whole time, but smooth single-track. Started to loosen up in there and find a groove, thankfully.

Oh, and deuced. Straight diarrhea. WTH?

Run back felt a lot better...and smoother. Finally found my stride and cruised back home.

Randomly ran into a former college friend (Kyle Sterry...He played Soccer at WJU). We ran 1/3 of a mi together, briefly catching up until I turned off on Rocklin Rd and headed for home.

Run was probably a little more than 9mi's, but I'm just gonna call it 9.

Threw these shoes away post-run. They're done.
