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.

QP, your as crazy and me, fitting these workouts in at all times in the morning. good work, good to see you out there, no moon shadows?

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.
