Okay, plans drastically changed after a sleepless night....I was supposed to work this morning at 6am so begrudgingly set my clock to wake me at 4:30am in order to get some kind of run in for the day--hoping for 6 miles.  I tried to get cancelled today just because but no such luck, no call last night...but what to my wondering ears should occur?  the phone rings JUST AFTER I am suited up in my RUNNING gear at 4:37am!!!  "I am placing you on call"....great but NOT so great.  I was so tired getting dressed but between then and fully dressed I had convinced myself that I could get out there and no longer could crawl back into bed.  With my luck I would just be called in as I drifted off for two hours more of sleep.....so I just got out there and ran in the FROZEN TUNDRA, I mean gee whiz why are my muslces so tight (besides my ROCKWALL climb last night, big mistake) and why won't a thing loosen up a bit?  Oh yah....I am frozen STIFF.  My cheeks both types were numb and stinging but I just kept trotting along thinking surely it is NOT that cold out.  Well it turns out it was/is 20 degrees and with the fog/inversion it made it feel colder to the bone.  I was hoping to "crash" Mel and Kim's run but I had no idea when or where they were meeting.  I figured Kim's house around 6am so I circled Kim's house five times with no such luck.  Unfortunately Kim lives on a good hill so climbing THAT five times was not that thrilling.  Frost was every where, especially my eyelashes and hair.  I am still thawing out and can't wait to finish this report and get in a warm shower ASAP.  AP only 7:55 for 15.1 miles.  I never stopped having tight achy muscles the whole run.  Bummer.  Splits for fun:  9:04, 8:32, 8:20, 8:10, 7:53, 7:54, 7:57,  7:51, 7:47, 7:37, 7:38, 7:34,  7:21, 7:38, 7:35, 0.1 @ 7:06.  I guess not to bad as the TIN WoMAN. Off to my shower.    AFTERNOON (2pm, 7 hours after finishing my last run)-- no kids and no work.  What to do?  Run again of course.  Pace slow at first and knees feel like they might give out.  Ever since the fall I feel I was put back together wrong.  Anyway got energized in the SUN and MUSIC that I picked it up pretty good.  Splits: 8:54,  8:40,  8:07,  7:51, 7:05.  AP for 5 = 8:07.  Could have done more, but that would have been even MORE insane  : D.

I think he will start doing the marathon stuff this spring. His focus is speed right now. That is soooo fast!
