When I woke up this morning, the radio alarm on my clock had been on for 8 minutes before it woke me up.  I was sleeping right through it.  I guess I was tired.

4 mile run today.  I started slow and sped up.  I got a little hitch in my hip at the end of mile 3, so I stopped, stretched it, and slowed down a little for the last mile.  Miles 2,3,4 were all between 9 and 8:30 paces.  Mile was was around a 9:15 pace.

29o with 80% humidity.   I guess it cooled off.

Not looking forward to Saturday's long run.  It's 14 miles, but the forecast is for rain in the am with temps below freezing, then maybe cooler and snow in the pm.  I might chicken out and run at the gym on base.  I haven't been on a treadmill in 1 1/2 years, so it would be a change.

Eight minutes, eh. You must have been really zonkered.

You're really having some cold weather. If you do end up on the treadmill on Saturday, I suggest you not spend more than an hour on it. It could louse you up since you're not used to it. That's been my experience, anyway.

I'm with Carolyn, and although you've been completely spoiled and not HAD to run on a TM for 1.5 yrs make sure not to overdue a TM. It can change your gait etc.

Nice work getting up and out...even if it did take you an extra 8 sleepy minutes :)
