Definitely feeling the lack of sleep I've had lately. My professors are just kicking my butt, I'm working as dilligently as I can but these are some late nights.

Fartlek at Milliken Park of 1/2/3/4/5/4/3/2/1 minutes hard, with equal easy time between each. The easy time definitely started getting easier and easier as we went on. Ran mostly with Rebeka, which was nice because we all got pretty spread out.

1 mile warm up, 1 mile cool down. 4 mile tempo onto rail trail with the gals. Stayed mostly with Alexandra and Allie for the first 3 miles, then headed out ahead both of them. Didn't feel very good, but the average wasn't awful (7:03). It should be sub-7 though for sure. I think I am just feeling a little bit tired this week!

Went down through Converse heights to Cottonwood trails behind the high school, out-and-back. Got a solid 2ish miles soft-surface on the trails. But man oh man I felt TERRIBLE. I was just trotting the whole time, legitimately considering walking at times. I'm not sore, or any more sleep deprived than usual, it's just that sucky all-encompassing-tired type feeling after a really long and often stressful week. TGIF for real.

On the upside, Josh let me have the pair of Glycerin's that a lady wore a few times and then brought back last month! 2nd pair of shoes he's given me in 2 weeks....I love my job & I have the best boss ever.

90 minute long run by myself at Milliken today! Felt pretty solid for the first 4 miles or so...then I started feeling a lot like yesterday, but a little worse. Started struggling really badly after about 9 miles. Felt like I was going 9-minute pace at fastest. Somehow though that must have all been my perception because my average was totally normal. 8:07. That was probably one of my harder long runs though.
