Jogged over to Mill Race Park from the house down SR 11 in the dark - left at 11pm, so mileage logged on Friday entry. Headlamp flashing/warning mode since there is no shoulder. A little scary. Midnight Glow in the Park 5k from park out the people trail to Walgreens and back. Fun race - glow sticks illuminating the path the whole way. A 13 yr old kid hung around for 2 miles after the usually startline sprint crowd thinned out. Felt strong, like I was running well, but, turned out to be an optical illusion from passing all the glow sticks and the whole night running illusion. 5:42, 5:44, 5:52, blah. 5k - 17:52

Jogged home, ate abit and went to sleep. 6:30 alarm came very early. 30 min. drive to Seymour, jogged 5 minutes for WU. Elizabeth's 5k - slowly worked into 6 minute pace and died off in last mile. 5k - 18:48

Who needs sleep anyway... Did you win them both? Pretty good results, all things considered - nice work.

That's a big week, Joe. It's tough to run at that time of night on that mileage. Get some rest.
