Ran 10 miles with the hubs this morning.  Kinda slow.  He's still got some minor injuries that haven't quite healed up yet (even after 2 weeks of no running) and I had some wonderfully delicious food yesterday that was not so wonderful as it sat in my system for awhile (let's just say lots of beans - 'nuf said).  But at least the running helped work things out in me :)

Kind of dragging today since then, you'd think I'd run a lot farther.  I know I haven't reported for the last several weeks, but I have still been keeping up my regimen.  I felt fully recovered (tiredness) from the marathon after only 1-1/2 weeks and am eagerly setting my goals for next year :) I even tried to do a 1/4 mile sprint on the treadmill this week at a 9.0 (6:40 min/mile).  I do it on my sprint workouts every week for 30 seconds at a time, so I figured, how hard can it be?  Let's just say, verge of puking.  Seriously.  I've never felt that way before.  Guess I need to up my workouts a bit, huh? ;)  I finished and wondered how in the world some of these fast bloggers keep up that pace and faster in an entire marathon.  Hoping someday it won't seem quite so extreme to me.
