First night back at work last night and another one tonight with no babysitter inbetween to get solid sleep.  I'm sure it will take me a week or two to get used to this whole back to working nights dynamic.  So far it's going better than I thought. Thank goodness I have a treadmill so I can run in the middle of the day!

  • 5 TM miles, 10:06 AP

Got home from the night shift at 8am, slept 3 hours thanks to Grandma. :)  Wanted to get my run in so I hurried down to the TM.  It started out a little rough, but I ALWAYS feel better if I run after a night shift. Then about 2.3 miles into it, baby girl woke up early from her nap.  So I went and got her and her play mat with a piano at her feet and hanging toys and that enabled me to finish the run...whoever designed that thing is my hero! :) Things were much better for the last 3.7 miles.

My first thought was that I would give myself a break from any hard running this week while I get used to working nights again, but then when my watched beeped 2 miles I decided to just try running some tempo miles.  It's funny how it's easy to run fast once you just start running fast. =0)  I did 2 tempo miles and I feel pretty darn good about that.

  • 8.6 miles, Pages Lane loop, 9:45 AP

Continuing the buildup for my half on Sept 22nd.  I was happy that I could keep a 9:45 average like I do on my 5 mile runs.  That tells me I'm getting the endurance back, now I just need to work on speed. :)
