Total Distance

8.00

Thunderstorms were knocking each other out last night, and kept me up. I was too tired to shut the windows to make it quiet. I found an ear plug, but didn't have the energy to put it in my ear. Cranky tired.

Good thing it's hump day!! I was going to do 9, but didn't get out in time, so I only went 8. Tried to do a progressive run. Missed on mile 5 and went up 10 seconds instead of down, but other than that, met my goal. Avg pace was 8:56.

Shower & nap, then off to work. Good times.

8 miles is sweet, always sweet, really puts a gold peice in a pirates day.

I think that still counts as a progression run.

Why not sleep a little later in exchange for the nap?

8 mile progressive runs aren't very easy, so nice work! Sorry about the sleep, oh do I ever know that cranky tired...

Carolyn, I've been thinking about your question, "Why not sleep a little later in exchange for the nap?"

When I do get to nap, it's only 5-10 minutes. And it's a little reward I give myself for hurrying through the morning shower routine so I have extra time for the nap.

I have found that pushing snooze for 10 more minutes in the am, doesn't give me the same satisfaction as 10 minutes of quiet relaxation after a run & a shower.

Hope that makes sense.
