Ok, this is the first marathon training day that really didn't go the way I had planned.

 I woke up and my stomach was killing me.  That's pretty unusual for me.  So I kinda procrastinated on my running - - which usually I try to do first thing in the am.  And honestly, I was a little afraid to leave my house because of the pain.  I didn't want to run 4 miles and end up far away from home and vomiting or anything else that comes with a stomach problem.

So finally, I decided to just give the treadmill another try.  Ugh.  I ran two slow miles.  Then, eeked out another slow mile.  Then I had to sit and rest.  My stomach really wasn't sooo bad.  But my legs just felt sore and tired and blech, and then combining that with the boring treadmill and the stomach -- I just didn't have the mental oomph.  I did five miles and called it a day.  

 Disappointing.

Sorry about your bummer training day! Still, you got on there and did five whole miles! On a treadmill! That is an accomplishment. Sometimes when I can't do all my miles in the am, I'll just go out and jog a few in the evening. Two a days! It sounds awful, but it actually makes you feel great!

Have I ever been wrong?

Definitely not pregnant. Thank goodness.
