That in between shorter, long run. I sat on my steps (9:45am) just trying to be motivated.  Started out with hubby.  Slowed him way down, I just had to start way slow because I was completely unmotivated.  First mile 9:48.  Thought it was 10:30 so I guess that is good.  Most uphill but didn't care regardless.  Drug out another few miles at my turtle speed then just went how my body wanted.  Troy left me at mile three to home one more mile for him.  I was going long.  Did a pace check at about mile 4.5 (just under 8?  wooo, feeling glad about that).  Kept going by feel.  Last two miles I thought I was dragging so  I did a pace check where I knew miles. First 7:43 then last mile a speedy 7:21.  That felt easy.  So average pace for those 13.31 miles was 8:25 (course tool).  I took the road less traveled.  You name it, I was running it today.  Just turned this way and that thru AF. One whopping uphill on 700 north to the AF temple.  I was like hey I just ran 11 miles of that kind of uphill last Saturday, no big deal (however minus smog and heat).  Ran around temple then home.  Didn't know mileage but time was getting to where I should have been over 12, my goal.  Well I went over by 2+.  Total mileage (.83 mile cooldown at 8:36 pace)=  14.14.

Hey girl friend! I was thinking about you on my way to the Temple this morning: wonder where Julie's running today? wonder if she ever ran this way from PG thru AF to Alpine? Lo and behold, you were running up temple hill this morning. I drove out of there at 10:45. I used to run up that hill on 7th North on my Sat. long run all the time. Never ran in Cedar Hills or PG though.

AWESOME run, great mileage and pace!!! Hope you have easy shifts this weekend.

Nice run as always! 5 out of the next 7 nights?! YUCK! Hang in there, that sounds miserable. Hope you can squeeze some rest in there somewhere. Have you ever tried double-bagging chamomile tea in one cup and then chugging it to help you sleep when you are restless? It works well for me.

Hi Smooth, I was going to run straight and then I thought what's one more loop around the lovely Temple grounds? I figured if I do all this weaving I can handle some wee weaving at the finish of SGM. So glad we "crossed" paths : D.

April- I will have to try that...last night I tried melatonin and slept two hours and awoke. I seem to awake right up after every sleep cycle. At least I am getting some cycles in.
