I can actually record my sleep, because last night I got 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep!! It was heavenly. After 4AM the normal cycle started, but I got good sleep until then. Decided to sleep in and run during boot camp, which was a good decision because the regular teacher wasn't there and I would've been ticked off if I'd made the effort to get to class and had a substitute. I slept in as long as I could, until my neighbor needed me to come jump start her car. Got up and going, albeit slowly, and when I got to the gym there was one TM left - positioned perfectly between Kelli and Amy! I AM the lucky girl today! Those 6 miles on the TM felt like H$%%!! I feel better and am coughing less, but my body is still recovering and my breathing is CRAP. Oh well, I got them in. If it wasn't for this 1000 mile goal I would be on the elliptical or sleeping in. I'm SO glad I have this goal to keep me consistent. The pace was slow as molasses, but I got it done. Had to stop talking the last 1/2 mile as I sped up, but it was nice to have it over and done with. AP: 9:33 did a progressive run, but started at a 9:40 ish pace. Didn't get below 9:13 until the last mile. Sprinted (haha) out the .2 to the end at 7:30 - then hacked up a lung when I finished. I did actually run until .3 on the TM because I had jumped off enough times to drink that I had to make up a full tenth of a mile! Man, I feel like a slacker... I hope this cold/flu thing goes away before Painter's or I am going to be struggling! Came home and had to shovel THE heaviest 5 inches of packing snow ever! It felt like 18 inches. I was SO exhausted by the time I was done, I came in and snuggled baby on the couch, drank chocolate milk and played couch potato for the rest of the afternoon! I'm going to be sore, again....
