Decided this morning I would run to AF high school  (two miles) and run the AF 1/2  marathon course backwards to where I remember the timing mat was.  That ended up being 7.6 miles away.  The end of the course was pretty right on considering the mat being at 7.5 miles from the start.  It was an absolutely beautiful run.  All the cones were still in place from the race (just off to the side).  My legs felt so strong on the uphill even after earlier slow miles my pace was 8:28 to the turn around.  No rush on the way back, just took it nice and easy following the course back to home.  AP for the 15 miles = 8:13.  I am not sore.  Just hungry.  Finally slept a bit longer last night which helped (about 7 hours, waking once).  All week I have been only getting from 2 to 5 hours of broken sleep.  Talked with a new friend at church who is 48 and we talked about the joys of "going through the change".  She told me the only symptom, besides the obvious, she had at my same age was INSOMNIA.  LOVELY!!!  I had several months of night sweats, but that seemed to disappear and NOW INSOMNIA.  I actually get cold more often.  I  usually DESPISE the heat.  Working days has helped a lot however.  : D.  So glad to be working three - 13 HOUR DAY SHIFTS.  Those night shifts the last two years were quite the roller coaster ride.  I SURVIVED.    Apparently they were holding me back in my running.  NO LONGER.

Very nice monday run, Julie! No, I'm not actually being coached by McMillan - I just use the pace guides from his website to help me figure out my faster workout paces. I find it extremely useful.

Wow, a long run already after the half. Nice! You seem a little young for "the change". You are turning into a running machine..amazing what a little sleep and iron can do!

A fellow insomniac, hate it!! But you seem to function so well!
