This morning we were woke up at 4:55am from where our son was spending the night. He didn't want to close his eyes, because he wanted mommy and daddy to pick him up and wanted to play. We had to drive 13 miles to Inkom (which is a small town outside Pocatello) to pick him up. We got home at 5:40 and slept till 9:40, then I decided to get up to run even though I felt like I needed 10 more hours of sleep. After taking almost a hour to get ready I ran 8.1 miles at an overall 6:34 pace in 53:14 minutes. It took me about three miles to warm up I was a little sore from the long run yesterday. Splits for mile 3 on were 6:39, 6:37, 6:33. At mile 6 I decided to do a mile fartlek and it felt good and easy at a 5:51 pace. The last two miles I still wanted to run fast, but at a marathon pace to get some of those in 6:13, 6:09. Good run overall and I felt a could have ran the fartlek for 4 or 5 miles or even more at the above pace. Evening ran .3 with my son he was so energized today. Then we played basketball with his indoor basketball hoop in his bedroom.
