Today's training run went much better than last week. I ran an average pace of 9:35/mile which is pretty awesome for me (better than my last race which I PR'd at 10:35/mi!). I ran slightly behind the group as I was pushing my upper limit. The real question will be whether I can run that kind of pace in a race or not for the full 13.1 miles. Guess I'll find out on Feb. 2nd!
I still had trouble with dry heaves after drinking water. I tried just drinking a couple sips but it still gave me problems. What did seem to help was not starting with such a fast pace as it allowed my body to process the water a little before going back into full throttle.
One thing that was suggested to me was to eat something small before running. I like Clif bars and so maybe I'll try eat half a bar before leaving the house to run with the group. It was also suggested that I follow the mean plan that was sent out to all the people that participate in Boot Camp, so maybe that will help me with fueling as well? My biggest problem is that I am a fairly lazy cook and so it might be more energy I might be willing to put in.
My legs feel pretty good. I promised myself I would get better at rolling my legs after my long runs and so once I fix myself some breakfast I'll bust out the foam roller and then get cleaned up.
