Sketchers GoRUN (black).  New shoes.  Let's see how my feet and legs handle back to 4 mm drop (from 10 with nike flyknit).  I had absolutely no heel left on the outside of both my flyknits (ha ha 800 plus miles will do that) so I can only assume that the heel is in the way of me landing mid foot  ;D.  Walked all day in my sketchers then ran at Gold's gym on TM.  OVER TIRED but YET still not able to sleep.  My lips and tongue burn a lot....not sure what that is a sign of.  Probably sleep deprivation.  Can't take ambien. It worked at night but lingered too long during day that I was wigged out on it.  So....tried nothing the last two nights but my 1/4 of xanax that I am almost out of.  Got five hours.  That is all I got. Then awake.  VERY alert.  No more sleep.  And I was sweaty all over and the heat isn't even on.  I suppose hot flashes is the word. Crud-ola.    Plan today was some sort of tempo...and follow Hal Higdons meaning for it.  Well...his meaning is so different from what I have read on the blog so I did the best I could. Ran easy first two miles at 8:12, then 8:00 minute mile then, 7:53, 7:47.  Off tm for a quick stretch and pee stop (really couldn't hold it).  Usually I like to just not stop at all so this was a must especially with what I had next coming up.....a SUB SIX minute mile.  Yah I just decided it midrun to do it.  Started at 6:15 pace and within 0.05 miles got confused and worried I was starting too slow so upped it to 6:10 pace and then left it there for 0.1 miles and increased pace every 0.1 miles by 0.1mph to 5:42 pace (10.5 mph).  Ran a 5:57 mile when it is all boiled down.  :D.    finished with a mile at 8:02.  Had to take a two minute breather after the mile that fast AND with NEW SHOES.  Gotta be careful.   This was at 1230 just past noon.   At 3:30 ran with my daughter Brooke and her friend Brooke two miles.  AP 9:07.    Then Art Festival for Amber and a dinner out with husband to Olive Garden.
