AM: I decided to see if my foot could handle the track and flats. It did okay, though I will need to be nice to it the next couple of days. I haven't been on the track in forever. It felt weird, and it felt like it took half the workout to find my rhythm. I ran a ladder workout. 2k, 1600, 1200, 800, 400 with 400 recovery between. My goal was 90, 88, 86, 84, 82 per lap for each set.

2000 goal: 7:30 actual: 7:24

1600 goal: 5:52 actual: 5:46

1200 goal: 4:18. actual: 4:17

800 goal: 2:48 actual: 2:46

400 goal: 82 actual: 77

I have faster in me, but this will do. Especially after 14 yesterday

8.75 total. Will run more later

Oh, I was tired this morning. Teren had to be off to work early, so I ran at 5:30. It was already almost 80 degrees. It was very warm, humid, and windy this morning. I wanted some turnover, but I don't think I was very fast. 20 minute warm up followed by 30 x 1 minute on/off. I only managed 6:51 average. I usually hit low 6:40's. Oh well. It is done. Hopefully, tomorrow will be cooler.

21 hot, sweaty, sleepless miles with Jenny. I'm glad I had her to pull me through. I had insomnia so badly last night, and ended up only sleeping about an hour and a half. I was okay through about 11 miles, but the last ten were a struggle. My head was buzzing. But, I made it, and still managed to average 7:13 per mile. Jenny left me the last couple. She was spunky today!

Anyone have suggestions for sleep aids? I'm afraid to take them because I don't want to rely on them to help me sleep. I don't have insomnia that often, but when I do, it seems impossible to fall asleep. Melatonin work for anyone?
