When it was snowing and my driveway was covered last night, I bailed on Tyler and Travis, thinking I would do treadmill this morning and push off my 12x 1min on/off workout until Wed. But I woke up at 3:45am, not able to fall back asleep, so I got up and saw the drive was clear, so I decided to run outside, maybe even Warmed up 3.89 @ 7:43 pace. Then 12x1 min pace, ended up doing my hilly route backwards. averaged 5:48 for on parts. Felt really good in the workout--first time since the marathon. And I had every reason to not feel good--sore from Saturday, insufficient sleep, weekend exorcism in the form of 8 stars so far this morning, snowy conditions. Wickedly cold ice bath still has me shivering (16 min at 45F). PM: 5.37 miles in 40 min. Core workout. Felt pretty run down by the time I got to Wal-Mart to shop in the evening. At checkout I put my head down and said, "I think I am going to pass out." Which is melodramatic code for, "I am dehydrated and tired." The checker wouldn't let me load, push, or unload my car, even though I told her I'd be fine if I just got a drink of water. Embarrassing! I worked on an urgent work project from 9-11pm, and had a little nervous breakdown in the middle of that. Got to sleep at midnight. (read on to Wed).
