Holy insomnia! Back on hormone trial and who knows if it was the rise or fall of hormones that created this insomniac. Friday night...four hours, sat night four bours and last night five hours. Man my head feels headachy. So i did what any normal sleepless runner would do on a monday...hit the tm. Yup back to golds after kids off to school. There by 830 after drop off at deseret industries with donations. Had no idea what i was going to run. Been feeling like a long run is in order here soon, nice and easy 20 OUTSIDE. But today is not the days with lack of sleep. So just got on and put pace at 7.5 mph and increased pace wvery mile by 0.1 mph...so miles 2-8 were 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 8.1, 8.2 (7:53 to 7:18 pace) then 0.6 miles @ 7:13 pace and then increased pace by 0.1mph every 0.2 miles til 10 miles. Actually sprinted the last 0.2 at 6:15 pace. Cooled down at 8:27 pace for half mile. All felt easy and controlled especially lungs. Just left but sciatica has been a little bit of a problem so stretched good afterwards. 1% incline today. I am counting only last mile as fast as pace was from 6:15 to 6:58...so about at 6:36 pace.. total time 75:07 for 10 miles. 7:30 ap.
