Really lousy run tonight.

I woke up around 5 with my stomach feeling like I had an ulcer, so ate some food and went back to bed.  Dragged all day - thinking I overdid the run last night and needed to taper for the Provo Half on Saturday.  

I ran to Wasatch Running tonight and about half way there had to make an emergency pit stop a 7-11 (before things got messy) and from there on it all went downhill. I started walking at 3 miles and thought I would never make it home.

Filled 200 water balloons for my office picnic tomorrow - but I'm ready to go to bed now. I'm hoping it is only a 24 hour flu - but if I feel like this tomorrow night - I won't even bother trying the half because it would probably do me more harm than good.

Taking my pitiful self off to wallow in bed in perfect misery......
