65F, SSE 15 mph.  Wanted 13 miles but I turned around early.  The 5 hours of sleep I got the night before last was ok, but the 3 hours last night was apparently not quite enough.  It was like painful slow motion out there.  Work is kicking my butt right now with late hours.  I also have to fly out to Houston early tomorrow for another job interview, so will probably do what I should've done today and just skip the run.  Hope to catch up with everyone's blogs this weekend...

8:12 AP.

I hear ya. My month has been crazy, I've had to skip runs, shorten runs, way behind on blogging. Just need to get through to the first of the year and get it back together! Sometimes sleep is just a little more important.

You're having the same week as me, just coping better. Hope your interview went well on Thursday.
