mileage update

i felt guilty about cutting this morning's run short so i went back out earlier this evening for another 6 miles. it was hot, about 85. i felt pretty good in the beginning...mile 1- 9:47, mile 2- 9:30, mile 3- 10:06. then mile 4 with water stop- 11:02, mile 5 no water stop 10:57, mile 6 with water stop- 11:42. i started to get the shivers, a huge headache, and lots of phlegm. that can't be good. but i really wanted to push myself and i felt good about blasting through that barrier of, i'm too tired i want to quit.

mileage update--
week 9 (half way!) goal: 24 miles
actual week 9: 22.5 miles

cumulative 9-week goal: 177 miles
actual miles through 9 weeks: 162.9 (-8%)
