Believe to Achieve

check out the sleeping hours.  MASSIVE INSOMNIA.  I finally decided to fill my ambien prescription from the summer.  Didn't work the other two times I tried over the years. Wishful thinking.  I was awake and coherent to my 10 year old daughter 1.5 hours after I took it.  I told Amber I was taking it and she was to take "notes" if I did anything weird.  We were in my bed watching mindless tv.  Drifted off after 10 woke at 0100.  Took another half a pill (total one 10 mg) and slept only an hour.  Laid in bed and decided to text some running friends to see if they would run with me.  I wasted time to 7:20 wondering if I should run on NO good quality sleep in over a week.   I can't believe this. Thought hormone replacement would help me sleep bettter but it is having opposite effect.  Making me very HIGH strong and weirded out.  Have a thirteen year old daughter's party to watch over til 11pm but may just last til 9pm and let my hubby take over as I hopefully crash tonight for like 16 hours please!!! Anyway did just go out and run at 7:20am and ran up 1100 North in PG to Canal trail (murdock) and ran North. A guy passed me going quickly so woke me up and I decided to try and hang with him...by that decision he was already 20 seconds ahead.  He managed to stay that way for the three miles I trailed him.  Didn't have garmin but did have stop watch.  It was probably about 6:50 pace for three miles then I was like HELLO I need to just run easy which I think was about 7:40ish pace.  I also picked it up for my last mile and since I had my stopwatch and know where the mile to go to my house point is I ran it in 6:38.  AP for run 7:33 (10.28 miles per course tool).   Then it was on to Brooke's last tournament game. They won 5-1.  They won all but onebeing a tie in their season games. They finished their Division 2 season in 1st!! and move on to Division 1 automatically.  : D.  Troy (my husband) is the coach.   Amber's Celtic team has had a rough go.  They lost their last game.  But Amber played hard.  It is fun to watch them play soccer D:  BUT it drains me of all remaining, if any adrenaline, because I am super competitive in game sports.  Not so much in running except against myself...hence why I like running-- ME against the clock,, if I happen to pass people along the way  that is fine..but it is not my goal.  I  like to win master's but it is usually a win because the speedier gals didn't show up.    Just want the marathon PR.  Subthree someday.
