Well, that sucked. No life in my legs whatsoever. I felt more like going to sleep than running. Not sure how I got home without going to sleep in fact. Finally in the last 20 minutes I got going, slightly. But I did 2.5 laps less than last year -- and last year I was 7 days out from a marathon. I think the main issue was indeed sleep deprivation. just generally sluggish and plain old tired.

Double today but not on purpose. I ran 6 inside at Mercy at 5 p.m., planned to go home, shower and get ready for work. But I ran over something on the way home (like a curb), got a flat, destroyed my tire limping back to the house, and didn't have time to change the tire (didn't help that I couldn't see what I was doing with that alleged light in my garage). So I got the shower, put on track pants and ran to work, another 1.5ish. Which of course means I get to run home tomorrow morning.

Ran home from work this morning. It was really, really, really cold. I had on the fleece headband and the WR gloves, along with the track pants I wore to work. They didn't keep me warm. Face felt like it was gonna freeze. Plus the run home is uphill all the way which didn't help. I think I managed about 10:00 pace, maybe a tad quicker, but I didn't time it or anything. Emma's package arrived at 10:30 with the mail person ringing the bell to get me to sign for it, so I'm working on 3 hours sleep. After that, I spent an hour getting the flat changed, took the car in to get a new tire (had to order it) and went to the gold shop. So I'm ready to sleep now. Probably will not get in a run this evening. Definitely will not run to work.

Actually stayed awake after work long enough to run 10 with the Sheris, Pattie, May and her daughter. Did the out and back to Towson on Phoenix. Forecast had said low 50s. Forecast was wrong. Upper 30s and the outward leg was into 15 mph wind. Sherrie said my skin looked like a Christmas ham running into the wind. Amazingly that went away when we ran with the wind. I felt like I'd been up for 18 hours and missed too many runs, but got it done without to much trouble.
