"If we don't suffer enough we won't remember it."

4 miles avg 7:15 pace. 

12 miles up/down Provo Canyon.  I ate breakfast with the kids, got them off to school then did 1 1/2 hours of bookkeeping work before heading out on my run.  I ran an avg 7:04 pace for the 6 miles up the canyon.  No wonder I was breathing so hard.  I also thought "Eating breakfast really helps.  I should remember to eat before I run my marathon."  On the way back my legs started to feel tired, the downhill on the quads.  I was doing fine until I ran up the hill on 800 North in Orem 3/4 mile from my house and I all of the sudden felt as though I might throw-up.  I wondered if I still had any orange juice and grape nuts in my stomach.  I slowed down a little and felt better.  My average pace coming down the canyon was 6:36, so my average for the whole run was 6:50 pace.  I thought this was a good hard workout, to be able to go "Marathon pace" for 12 miles on an out and back route seems good.  My bladder seems to be all better too so that's nice.

10 miles avg 7:21 pace.  I felt wiped out from my run Tuesday.

4 miles avg 7:27 pace.  Still tired.  I think I'll feel better tomorrow.

16 Miles with Melanie, Kim and Jane.  I didn't get home from a youth conference I was involved in until midnight and got up at 4:35 a.m. to go meet up for the run.  4 hours of sleep is about 1/2 as much as I need to feel good.  I was also having menstral cramps (sorry if this is TMI) so I didn't enjoy this run as much as usual.  At least I won't have to worry about that for the marathon.  Took a nap in the afternoon which was good.  Avg pace 7:06
