Dark morning run down to the blinking light and back.  It felt like a Monday morning run- took a while to get my legs working after the week-end.  Seemed like there were too many cars on the road for the first mile, and then nothing for 2 miles, followed by 3 more miles of too many cars on the road.  Why can't people stay home and let me run in peace?  AAARRRGGGHHHHH.

No chupakabras today.  They're smart and sleep in on Monday morning.

When I woke up this morning, I realized, to my dismay, that my alarm had been going off for 50 minutes before it woke me up.  It was on the radio setting, but that's always done the trick before.  I took it as a sign that my body was tired and needed sleep more than running.  Tried to get a little more sleep before starting my day off, but the sleep fairy ship had sailed and I didn't get any more sleep or any running in.

The evening was nice and cool out with a gentle breeze that made it perfect running weather.  I was surprised that my run today was even tougher than my run yesterday.  I expected sore legs on Monday, but thought my run today would be better.  Boy was I wrong.  I was so slow, but I kept plugging away and enjoying the podcast stories and the scenery.  The sunset was beautiful-

The dark fields and tree lines are misleading - it really wasn't this dark, my camera just made the ground area dark when it captured the sky's colors.  A couple of miles later I took this photo of the eastern sky.  Evidently the forecast tonight was cloudy with a chance of cotton candy.

Splitting my run up so I can do some early, play chauffer, then finish up the rest in the daylight.  3.25 in the hood- got some speedy miles in.  After the seminary drop off, I ran another 5.10 for a total of 8.35.

Some of that cotton candy colored cloud wisp was still in the sky.  Mmm...

Had to split my time up again.  I got 2.15 before seminary, then I had to go to walmart to pick up oreos but had time for a quick lap around the park before seminary ended so I got another 1.10 in then.  After dropping kiddo off at school, I ran the last 6 miles for a total of 9.2 miles.  Speed work on the first 2 runs, tempo run on the last one.  My knee started feeling sore with 2 miles left till home.  Too much speed work this week, I think.  Ice and rest for a couple of days.  No reason to mess things up at this point.
