No exercise
My mouth hurts. I had a smoothie for lunch. I learned to not schedule public speaking for the day after getting a retainer. I mean, what are the chances?? I never have to speak in public and today I had to speak at an Open House for my school to about 60/70 people. I started talking and realized I had a lisp. There is nothing wrong with having a lisp per se, but I was totally thrown for a loop and could barely get the words out b/c I didn’t recognize my voice. I did not enjoy the experience and don’t think it went particularly well. I think I said something like, “I came to school here b/c I like health.” Whatever I said, I did not give particularly earth shattering insights. When talking about student life, though, I did remember to say the weather is not that bad here in Boston and I managed to run outside all winter.
I can also barely walk. My quads are SOOO sore from soccer. I was going to run today, which might help the leg soreness, but I have a paper to write that I have been putting off and I think I should rest my knee before my game tomorrow.

Thank you Audrey for visiting my blog today. I wish I could have eloborate a little more on my marathon. But girl, I have no imagination. I know most use the old training run excuse when they don't run a good race. Honestly my splits told me I was in a trianing run mode and could not get out of it. My first marathon I ran in 2003 was 4:26(this was my 8th) so it was not much of a dif time wise. I did not feel like I was in a training mode thou. I may of died in the last 6 miles but the first 20 miles or so I was runing better than training mode pace. Hopefully I'll feel better doing Mystic next week.
P.S. sorry about the retainers, it just get take a little getting use to. Before you know it, it will be off. :)
