Easy run.

6:02 am, 74° F, 39% humidity, wind 3 S.

I didn't manage to drag myself out of bed early enough to get the shred done before running today. I'm thinking maybe I'll switch the shred to T, Th, S instead of M, W, F because I always have a particularly hard time getting up on Monday mornings.

I didn't run last Saturday because I was so stinkin' busy and it was my second son's 16th birthday and I had to make him a birthday breakfast. After all the major upheaval my family went through last week, I'm hoping things we settle down and we can get into a routine this week.

This sending a kid off to college is a strange feeling. He really hasn't been home much for the last year or so, but this is different. Suddenly I'm very concerned about him and interested in what he's doing.

AP: 9:36. Splits: 10:25, 10:05, 9:39, 9:21, 9:17, 9:06, 0.5 @ 8:53. Another unintentional progressing run. It helps that I started out really slowly.

Easy run.

6:03 am, 67° F, 35% humidity, wind 9 S.

Well, I finally dragged myself out the door this morning after skipping my runs for the last three days. Maybe I'm too a stage where I need a running partner to keep me going. I ran today because I was meeting up with Lindsay.

This week hasn't been as busy as last week, with the exception of last night. However, I was so physically and emotionally exhausted from last week, that I felt like I needed some time off. Also, my house was more of a wreck than usual on account of the craziness last week, so I've spent my running time for the last three days just trying to catch up with the dishes and the laundry. I did manage to do the Shred on Tuesday, but I didn't exercise at all on Wednesday or Thursday. But the thing about dishes and laundry is it's always time to do them again.

Work is still really busy with no end in sight. I've worked about 10 hours/day every day this week.

AP: 9:53. Splits: 10:37, 9:39, 9:49, 9:33, 10:11 (uphill), 9:27. Miles 1 and 6 were by myself. The rest were with Lindsay. We talked about investing and taxes. She's a tax accountant.

I goofed and originally posted this run on Saturday. I just moved it to Friday.
