I put 6 hours of sleep...that's the time I was laying in bed, but I was up a lot last night.  I had a dream that all my hair fell out...I wonder what that means?

I've still got a lot of chest congestion, which is why my times are a little slower this week than last.  I made a concious effort to try and stay over the 8/mm today.  I knew I was low on energy.  My target was an 8:30 for the speed portions, so I was happy I managed what I did.

It's the same routine as last week...I read the directions wrong last week and did this week's run instead of a tempo run.  Oh well... 

Avg pace 9:27. 10:27, 8:10, 10:21 (1/2 mile jog), 8:16, 10:21, 9:35 (last .84)

50 o with 98% humidity 5:00-6:00 am

It was warmer today, but very, very, humid.  The mositure in the air was so thick I could see the water vapor particles floating around in my headlamp. I'm just so glad it wasn't raining.  As I was getting ready for work, I heard the rain start.  It's a crazy southern lightening storm/downpour.  Unless you've been in one, I can't explain just how bad it is.  The rain blows and comes down in buckets.  I'd never experienced anything like it until we moved here.  It's just crazy wet.

What a strange dream.

Great workout today in the humidity. Did you have to drive to work in the buckets of rain? That does not sound fun.

This is the best I can find:

"To dream about losing your hair is to dream about losing your youth, your vitality, your strength. You worry that something beyond your control is harming you, not allowing you to be the best you could be."

Hmmmm, I guess there is really no question in MY head as to why you're having those dreams :) Or maybe you're just feeling sympathy for your sister who wants to PULL her hair out because she is so frustrated with being sick!!

Glad you got your run in before the bucket dropped! Nice paces as well...especially considering your chest congestion!

RAD-I'm guessing I'm feeling like I have lost control over my appetite, which lead to the hair-loss dream. Anything for a sundae, right?

Carolyn- yes, I got to drive to work in the rain. It was an adventure!
