5 miles in 10:58 pace. Avg. elevation ~8,500'; gain/loss ~740'. Ran the usual 5 mile loop near my house w/ Loki pup. It was drizzling the whole time, which was refreshing. 

 Worked ~25-30 hours over the last two days. Anxiety is kicking in big time.. definitely feeling the stress of the dissertation..  need more hours in the day.

4 on trails near home in ~11:55 avg pace. Average elevation ~8,500'; gain/loss 585/690'. 

Still slower than I'd prefer and working really hard to maintain pace. Heart rate still pretty high on uphill sections. No ankle mishaps though..

Easy ~4 up Boulder Canyon in ~9:22 avg pace. Felt pretty sluggish at the start, got moving just about the time I turned around. Probably the result of being up since 3 am. I laid awake stressing about work from 1-2:30, finally got up around 3 after realizing that trying to sleep was obviously not happening and I might as well be productive. Have to attend a wedding this weekend and am finding it hard to get into a happier/less stressed out mind frame.. hopefully I get my data analysis finished today. I'm also hopping to find a couple hours each day to do some long runs.. will see if that happens.
