I sure was nervous. I stayed in a different place the 5 nights before the race which meant only half quality sleep. I was really careful not to drink alcohol which was difficult especially when we were camping. Then the night before the race I had some pizza. The cheese did not sit well in my tummy. It was rumbling throughout the night and I was sure it would come back up. At 11pm K gave me some chinese meds that helped. But I still didn't sleep well. 4:20am came around quick. The race started at 5am. My tummy was still not quite right so K gave me some more chinese meds. By the time I started running I felt better. In fact, I was surprised at my pace. I chose a person with a good pace to follow and then eventually passed him. I was able to keep a good pace the whole time and finished the 13 miles in 2:00:42!!! I was thrilled with that! K finished her 10k in 54 minutes, best pace she's ever had. The race was a huge success!
We went to the English mtg here in CM at 11:30 (strange time). K and I were both feeling sick. I think I had a fever and my tummy was rumbling again. So after the meeting I took an ibuprofen and got a massage. I was able to sleep some during the massage and felt 100% better afterwards.
Then last night we went to my favorite market in all of SE Asia, the Sunday night walking market. So much fun!!!
Today we're going to rent scooters and driver around CM and maybe outside the city a bit. Tonight the other girls head back to Bkk and I'll hang out a few more days with G and A.
When I get home Friday I'll post the pictures from our trip up north. It was such a great time and so beautiful! I'll write about it later too.

Rock on! Congrats on the time, that's pretty awesome. And especially working through the sickness and the 5:00 AM start! Go drink some alcohol now, you deserve it.
