3.5 mile warmup at the rec center at 5:30am (really 4:30 am 1 1/2 days ago!!).  8:41, 8:27, 8:20 and 8:06 at 2 %.  Then planned 4 x 15K to 1/2 marathon pace (6:40, hopefully someday : D).  So ran 6:40, 6:40, 6:40, 6:30-6:35 for the last one (started picking it up the last two laps to 6:18 at the end).  Cooldown x 1.5 miles.  Cleared the TM time after 3 miles of warmup then started this workout with the 1/2 mile warmup.  Stopped the TM when it got to 6.2 miles.  Total time = 43:23 so AP 6:59 for 6.2 miles (4 miles plus the 1.5 miles easy pace miles).  I picked it up to below 7 pace for the last .2 to 6:18 pace just for a fast finish : D.  I ran this STRAIGHT through without stopping and NO water.  Forgot my little water bottle.  Going skiing at Brighton today so had to get up early AGAIN.  Past five day history--  Thurs morn up at 410am to run with Mel up Suncrest, Friday up at 4:50am to run before work, Saturday-- up at 4:30 am to run before work, Sunday (daylight savings loss of an HOUR) up at 5:40 to get to work by 6am but really it is 4:40, Monday up this morning at 5:15am (4:15 that I am used to it being).....EQUALS INTENSE fatigue exhaustion RIDICUOULOUSNESS but nothing I can't handle.  THINGS have been worse, working nights.  Three shifts in a row with CRAZY workload is TOUGH. WE HAVE HAD A BABY BOOM in the VALLEY.  MANY BOYS, few girls born.   SERIOUSLY.
