Total fail, though I was pretty sure it would be.  Danielle and I celebrated our anniversary last night...great night, but when you're going to bed and setting your alarm for 3 hours later, there's a good chance things aren't going to work out very well for your run.

Danielle is going out of town for the next week to give her family some much needed help.  Running will take a back seat again as I shuffle kids and work, but maybe I can make some stuff happen on the treadmills.  Crazier things have happened, I suppose...

On the work TM before lunch, I did a 1.5 w/u followed by 5 x 1 mile, with 1/4 mile recoveries.  For the fast miles I did 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.8, and the last repeat was a combination of speeds that resulted in 1.25 miles in 7:09 (5:43 pace).  It felt easier than it should have today, which is why I just kept running harder on the last repeat (last half mile @ 11 mph).  A combination of rested legs and questionable TM calibration, I'm sure.  Still a good strong effort - didn't have the time to go long, so went fast.

Had time for a quick 5 on the gym TMs at work.  Mostly MP, with another fast finish.

Likely no run tomorrow...
