can't sleep....anxious sleep.   I just can't seem to konk out fully.  But every morning I am up like clock work so I walked my self out the door at 5:15am and drove the rec center to do a 12 miler.  I ran 4 warmup.  Was going to do hills for 7 miles but just couldn't do it.  I have this productive throat thing happening and I am just too worked over that it just wasn't worth it.  4 mile warmup at 2%-- 8:49, 8:41, 8:27, 8:06 sorta kind of-- I just kept upping the pace every 1/2 mile.  Took a potty break and did hill ladders, with pace at 7:53-- 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6 each at 1/2 mile increments.  DONE.  I was having a hard time not getting dizzy.  I almost passed out.  So I got off and drank more water and then got on and finished with 4 miles at AP of 7:45.  I so had to work that one out of the hat.  I worked the last two days and although I ran "recovery" runs before work I was NOT recovering at work.  It was like two 50 milers in a row.  Go go go, non stop for 12.5 hours.  I don't drink near enough at work.  I like my job but sometimes nurses are expected to be too perfect and meet so many needs and you feel if you  could just eliminate the charting aspect of nursing you could be the best ever.  Blah.  Enough whining.  12 miles total.

Those long back to back shifts are SOOOO HARD!!! There is no way I could have run that early then go to work then take care of the family after work, then w/ no sleep start all over again like you do! I seriously don't know how you do it! Nurses work hard physically and mentally! Please please please take care of yourself. Do you have this weekend off? I sure hope so!!!

yes I do Smooth, but then I work three in a row starting Tuesday and then the 32 miler on Saturday that I might just have to peeter through. perhaps I should start running after work since that is where my time/daylight went...but then I would miss family dinner so probably not going to happen. Thanks for checking in with me. Hope you feel better!!

I know exactly what you mean about all the charting. I've sat buried in paperwork and hated every bit of it. If all I had to do was actually take care of my patients it would be waaay easier! Way to get your run in! It is hard to drink at work, let alone pee.
