I knew this week, along with the next two, would be very difficult to get runs in and it has lived up to my low expectations. I had early flights on Monday and Tuesday and ended up only getting 3 hours of sleep Monday night. Tuesday was a little better, but not much... here is hoping tonight will yield 6 hours. I headed out to meet Annette and headed straight up the hill (we live about halfway up the hill) and I had to tell myself to put one foot in front of the other and will myself up the hill...not a good omen. I plugged along for about 2/3 mile and actually got passed by another runner ( this does not happen much, most the runners are 10+ min miles) and it was enough of a shock to wake up my legs. I ran 2 mile to meet Annette, we did 6 miles of rolling hills and I had another mile back home. The pace was okay -8:55 min/mile, but the effort was extremely hard and my heart rate was high most of the time. I was completely dehydrated and exhausted. I spent the day at work, putting on a BBQ for the staff and then reviewing and audit we completed for a potential new client....more busy days ahead.
