I was falling asleep last night and wanted to wake up early so I could run a longer (6 mile) run than the "taper plan" had listed for me (3 miles).  I feel like I'm not really doing enough.

I decided that if I slept in and woke up later in the morning, I wouldn't have time for a long run.  So I just stayed in bed an extra hour.  It was marvelous, even though I'm still tired today.

I didn't watch my pace, just the time - so I'd get home in time to shower.  The distance ended up being about 3.6 miles. 9:48 pace.  I tried to keep an easy pace.  I guess I did a good job.

No critters, no crazy animal sounds, but a beautiful dark, starry sky.

Went out after work again with my co-worker.  We had a friend join us for her first ralk in years.  I'm so proud of both of them!!  The middle school was using the football field/track, so we went out in the 'hood.  We walked the streets & ran the cul-de-sacs.  I'm giving myself a total of .5 miles run.  We totaled 3.8 miles, but I didn't measure the running parts.  Just an uneducated guess.
