This whole daylight savings has played a ton with my internal clock that was already messed up . Stayed up at work totally well until 520 am when I got a bit tired. Got home at 645am and got in bed at 7am. Put on a sleeping mask and ear plugs and yet as I awoke I looked at the sides of my curtain to see the brightness of the sun. Yay, did I sleep until 11am? 4 hours? Oh no, it was ONLY 940am!! HELLOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Are you kidding me? just over 2.5 hours of sleep? Have I truly turned vampire-like? Got up cause I had to pee badly and I felt hungry. Well, all of a sudden "something" pops up out of my bed. My husband was still asleep!! Sleeping away while I couldn't. errrrrr!!!! Ate a little organic pop tart, if there is such a thing, sweet : D. I love costco. They make anything "organic". I was feeling pretty awake but I made the mistake of logging on to the computer to check the Spectrum status (no results then) but I stayed on longer and became tired again. This was only 15 minutes but it was zipping my zap. But my tired wasn't enough to lull me to sleep so I felt the air outside and the "warm" sunshine with a breeze and decided to get my short run in, determined to go progressive and get under 8 pace. It was hard at first as my muscles were fast asleep and the garmin took over .4 miles to register the ummph I was putting into my run. I mean seriously I did not start out at a 11 pace. Why does my garmin at times take so long to register? Oh well, at least it went according to plan. Splits: 8:20, 8:17 (gradual long uphill), 7:59, 7:37, 6:57. One mile cooldown in 8:17. Avg pace 7:50. New maximum pace met of 5:20!!!! Wow, that's high school days 800 repeat pace!! I wasn't very good at track so I guess that's not saying too much except that I am much older. I am pretty happy with this run considering it was sleep deprivation mode. OFF to shower, eat and hopefully sleep. Work again tonight.

Nice run on no sleep! My Garmin does the same thing--there is definitely a delay!

I remember those mornings after getting home from work and though I had slept and only to find out it was a cat nap! AMAZING HS days 800s repeat pace there on only 2.5 hrs sleep and an organic pop tart! Hope you're sound asleep now! Although I don't know how you could with that Spring like weather, sunshine and post-run adrenalin messing around.

I really really really hope you are sleeping right now.

How do you do it? Seriously?

Are those organic pop-tarts good? I have thought about buying them a number of times.

Hey, I haven't been up to date on your blog in awhile. How are you feeling these day? What are your upcoming races?

Bec-- I am running in the Riverton 1/2 Sleep Deprivation Pace run. Oh yah!!! Hey last year the same weekend I ran 32 miles on Antelope Island under the same circumstances, so I should at least finish it. The thing about the 32 miler (two loops of 16 miles) was we left when it was dark and I finally awakened by the second loop. Speed wasn't a factor. Now to start a race at 9am when my body is usually asleep and to pour on some "speed" will be the fascinating part to me anyway. Riverton will most likely have major headwinds as well, oh JOY!!! I am just aiming for a pace between 7 and 7:20. Cross your fingers : D

I am also running the Ogden marathon in May and if I get off the waiting list to get a spot I will run the Squaw Peak 50. If I don't I might run the Utah Valley Marathon, but that's cutting it close to Ogden, so is the 50 (3 weeks after Ogden) but I should be going a lot slower there.
