Slacking

I have been a total slacker on updating the blog, but there is a good reason. I have been sick. Again. It has been a monthly occurance in Mexico that we lose 5 lbs from being sick. If you are careful about what you eat, then you usually are fine. But if you are like we are and eat anything and everything you see, then you can pretty much guarantee a once a month weightloss program. And Chris and I were sick all last week, so there wasnt much new to report other than my once skinny boyfriend is slowly becoming see-through. I knew on Wednesday when I had an easy 3 mile run that I could barely get through because my stomach hurt that I was doomed. I couldnt run again until Saturday. I had an easy 6 mile run saturday and a 16 mile run with the last 6 at 10K pace on sunday. Both of them were hard and slow and there was no 10K pace on sunday. There might have even been some walking. I dont mind, I was just happy to get through it after not having eaten anything for three days. During the run I actually stopped mid way to get some fresh mango from a stret vendor. You would think I would learn my lesson from eating random food, but I figured if I was already sick, what harm could it do. Plus I needed the nutrition. I think I am well today. I ate lunch and still feel ok. Although I took some extra strength (read mexico strength) immodium and pepto this Am, so you never know if I am really ok. I have a three mile run tonight that i am praying is easier than last week's. Here is Chris on Saturday at the market eating a quesadilla. He got really sick again last night and I think this may be the reason. Nothing a little tequila cant cure.
