Couldn't get out of bed at 445am as planned to try and fit in a 16 before Gold swim meet at 8am in Spanish Fork for two of my daughters.  Really wanted to roll back over and sleep because the whole night was BAD sleep.  Managed to roll out at 524am.  Slowly got dressed and dreadingly walked down the stairs.  Decided to do a mini Tempo workout.  Not a great day to do it feeling fatigued but forced myself.  Did a 1.52 mile warmup (I use the course tool to map my run around a good 4.5 mile loop).  Ran three at marathon pace, is that the same as tempo?  I am forgetting here.  Anyway, ran the first 3 in 21:08 (7:22, 6:45, 6:59), first mile late after re-calculations on course tool by probably 3 seconds  faster really, second mile 3 seconds slower then.  Ran back to house (.16 miles), took a sip on my gatorade set at my starting point and began again with the 1.5 mile run then 3 at marathon pace.  Ran pretty much the exact same speed, weird at 21:09 (7:23, 6:45, 6:59).  The last mile in each is significantly uphill.  Only slight downhill on mile one when I am saying to myself "why am I doing this?"  I awaken by mile two then feel very sleepy on mile three and the hill kills me.  I plan on re-running this when I actually feel good, adding two more sets.  First one then a few weeks later the forth set.  That will be all I can do for speed except a couple of 200s and 400s on the track for a nice post easy run speed check.  16 miler has moved to Monday morning.  Stupid me picked up a first half shift for a desperate coworker tonight :  (       So at 1 am I plan on Z-ing it to the MAX.   My oldest daughter Courtney turns 11 tomorrow.  I had her on a Sunday 11 years ago.  Such a magical moment :  D    We are going to Lagoon on Wednesday to celebrate  :  DDDDDDD

Smooth, no idea how that happened I must have "stepped (ran) into the Twilight Zone". Like Grondhog day or something, same thing repeating itself until I get it right.

April, I don't amaze myself much just pretty much endure my endless list of to dos. Hey, you are the energizer bunny remember. You amaze me!!!
