Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
11.35	0.00	11.35

So did not feel awake enough to run. But forced myself because I could not fall asleep after sleeping 3 1/2 hours. Eating crappy playing a role in my sleeping along with staying up all night. Plan to fix that starting now. First mile slow at 8:40. Really thinking I was going faster but brain still back in bed. Was freezing with head band and gloves two nylon shirts and shorts with capris sweats. This is how I get when I am tired. So I was really wanting to be done. But when I got to Kim's (hoping she was home so I could do a wake up speed work on her TM, but she wasn't) I felt warm enough to take off my capris and wear shorts. Eventually I could take off my gloves and fold up my head band. The cold was just sleep deprivation. It was chilly but not that chilly, the sun was out and it was 1pm. Anyway I managed to pick up decently even on the steep uphill climb to the canal via 2600 north across Canyon Rd (the private drive to it). Kept going and felt good enough now to get my 10 in. Ran to Battlecreek drive and there did the first mile of the Strawberry Days 5 K as a little speed. I was distracted by dodging cars and changing songs on my ipod and running on very uneven old sidewalks to avoid the sloping roadway that could cause anIT injury. The mile was fair given those distraction (6:12, which was mile 8-9). I ran well home. Last mile 7:20 felt easy. 1/2 mile cooldown at 8:18 pace. Total mileage 11.35 at 7:58 pace. Finally awake and again freezing. Off to a hot shower. Work tonight and then its off to see New Moon at 1030am with Troy. I got someone to come in for me at 3am after she sees the midnight showing of New Moon. I am so thankful for that.
