| On the way to the race this morning, I pulled off I-85 at the Turner Field exit. It then took me an hour and 15 minutes to park my car instead of about 5-10 minutes. It was awful and I was having stomach issues. Thankfully, I went into this race with a positive attitude and just wanted to have a good run. Once a finally parked my car (I did get a good spot), I had to hit the bathroom on more than one occasion. It was also in the low 30's, my fingers were feeling numb. Just prior to the start, I did start to feel alright. I got into my corral and hoped for the best. By mile .5, the stomach issues came back to visit. I had to stop at mile 2 and 4 just to feel better. Amazingly, when my stomach wasn't bothering, I was running really well. I also had issues with my watch again as I received the low battery message early on. I was amazed that it stayed on as long as it did (the whole race). Unfortunately, the stops cost me at least 2-3 minutes. I was happy that even though I had issues, I continued to run strong. I met my friends at the end, got my cocoa and fondue (which I held off on for the most part, because of the stomach) and then headed back home.

| Due to the wacky weather here in Georgia, I was off today due to snow and ice. I went to the gym with my husband once we felt the roads were safe enough. Since I was running on his lunch hour, I was limited to just 3 miles. The miles felt good as I watched the mess in Atlanta on tv.

| Due to a two-hour delay, I was able to sleep in and ran once the sun came up ( I needed to be able to see the roads for ice). It was 18 degrees and boy did it feel like it at first. My fingers hurt for quite a while. I also confirmed today that I will need a new watch as the battery on mine went again, this time right after mile 4.

| It was another cold Saturday morning. I met up with my running buddy for a nice, casual long run. We are assuming that we got about 9 miles in as not one, but both of our watches stopped working while we were out there. I have recognized that it is time for me to purchase a new running watch. Happy Saturday!
