58º Teeth hurting from the sinus infection. Progessively faster without effort. Got my first Alert email from the marathon. Potentially dangerous heat/humidity levels for the race. Sigh. Oh well, its the 20th aniversary, I can run for fun if needed.

Up early, oatmeal on and drugged up. Wasn't feeling the best, but I was confident if the meds did their job I could do mine. They pushed the start back to 8am due to some lighting -however most of the runners were not happy with this since that lightening was at 5am. It was about 72º and very humid. Race started and mile 1 went off without a hitch. Pace was fine breathing slightly labored, but nothing I couldn't handle. By mile 3 I was having huge issues breathing and trying to figure out how to fight through it. By mile 7 I was toast. Vomiting, nose, lungs all fighting against me. Holding a pace was not in the cards and honestly I was just too dizzy so I just stopped in the medical tent. I have never not finished a race so there is a 1st time for that. I will look at the bright side and know I will have a fast recovery. I also in a weird way thankful this was at mile 9 and not 19. At 19 I know I would have pushed on and that could have been worse overall for me. Another day perhaps... now to get well.
