Ugghhh...and so begins another sleepless week. Hubby's phone rang at 2:30 this morning. Some stupid guy in India that needed to know an answer to a question that very well could've waited till normal business hours for us. Well, that was just the beginning. My 4 year old was then up for the next 3 hours...up, down, in my bed, out of my bed, in the middle of my bed, on the couch...finally he said "mom, my ear hurts" blech! He had a fever Sat night, but was fine Sunday so I figured it was a fluke. At least now I know....back to the docs we go. I did get up at 6 and get out the door to get a nice, easy 6 miler in. Nothing exciting, just the regular ol' route and the regular ol' stuff. Did get to see a few people out walking or working in the yard. Always fun to say hi. AP: 9:12 splits: 9:54, 8:51, 8:27, 9:10, 9:36, 9:16, 6:09 (last 30 feet over 6 miles. I love when I get to post #'s like that...even if it is for just 30 feet!)
Got home in time to get started with work...again. After dropping work off at the park this morning the plan is to go and do 4 miles on the TM and then FIT class, but I may have to see how the little one is doing first. Happy Monday!! ************************************** Okay, so when the little one got up he was happy as a bug in a rug, so off to the gym I went...well, a huge side trip to the park (10+ miles away) then back home because some idiot forgot to turn in her time cards by 8AM and it was already 9:15! Blech! Anyway, got to the gym just in time to do my FIT class! YAY!!! I really do love that class. Plus, since I wasn't there at my normal time I got to do the full class. Good times, and a good workout I haven't had in a while. Then I went to the TM to get those last few miles in. I followed Lily's advice and went for some speed work (kind of slow speed work, but still..) to hopefully get something back in these legs. I did a 10 min warm up @ 8:57 pace, then did 10 repeats of 1 min on 1 min off (speed at 8:00 and rest at 8:57). Honestly, it didn't feel too bad. Better than I may have expected. By the time I was done I was at 3.4ish miles...I think, so I put the TM on a decline and did a little more speed (after a little 8:57 pace). 2% decline and I started at 8:20 and went progressively faster till the end from there. Can't remember what I finished at. AP for the run was 8:32...not too shabby for me lately. Thanks for the advice Lily. I may have to work this one in a little more often (and hopefully a little faster) to re-teach myself what is going on with the legs! :)
