Gettin' Pumped with the Plague

Well this week has been a rough one for the Ocho. She apparently got some kind of plague/flu/chest cold due to her "hard living" (as coined by Senor Ocho) on Friday night and it has managed to kick her ass for most of the week. Luckily she got her run in on Monday and will attempt another 3 miles tomorrow so that she'll be ready for the 3.2 at General Smallwood on Saturday morning. She was aiming for 8 minute a mile, but now HP08 just wants to finish without passing out. Don't worry HP04 and HPTina, we will triumph, we will finish, we are women hear us roar! Ok, so it might be more like "I am HotPants, hear my cough," but either way, no matter what the sound, it will be at the finish line.

In other news, the Marathon is one month from Friday. Holy Sh*t! The Family Ocho is making reservations to come out and cheer the Ocho on. No backing out now!
