I am in India and I forgot how miserable it is to run on the treadmill here.  HOT, HOT, HOT and HUMID.   I made it through but it was no fun.   I forgot everything is in KPH and my math while running is week as it is  - converting to kilometers about kills me.

It is now 3 am in the morning and I cannot sleep and I am doubtful I will be up in 3.5 more hours to run......sad week.

I am in India still and have slept very little since I arrived.  I was awake in the middle of the night and decided to go run, thinking the gym would be open 24/7.  It was not, but when I called to find out when it would open, they said they would open it for me - Sweet!  I ended up sweating for a half marathon in 1:48.   The only problem was is that the effort felt harder than it should have been.  I ran progressive for the first 12K and then started back down until the last couple and picked it back up.   

Hopefully, I will get some sleep, sometime......please?

I converted my KPH to MPH and MPH to minutes per mile and my pace was much better than I thought.   Nice to know that a chunk of miles were MPH or below.

Still in India.  I have not slept well at all the entire time I have been here.  The longest sleeping streak I have is 3 hours.  Last night I slept for two and then woke up.   After trying to go back to sleep for two hours, I gave in and decided I would run and then try to sleep.   Two hours of sleep and very poor nutrition for the past few days = tired, slow, sad run.     I started out and had plan on running 6, but within 2K I was feeling the effects of the week.   It was unusually humid in the gym as well and I was sweating so much, it was like rain was running down my face, pretty disgusting.    By 5K, I was starting to get dizzy and called it a day.   

BTW, never went back to sleep.   By the time my flight leaves in 3 hours, I will have been up for 22, following a day of being up for 25.........

I am hoping all this pays off with a lot of sleep on my flights.
