Last night after our wog I headed out for a quick tempo run. 1.5 miles 7:02 pace.
Looks like Chili-Bowl may get interesting. I was hoping for under 7 pace and I have some stiff competition coming (all my friends) so I will have to try and keep my ego in check.
I think I have some sort of sleep disorder. I cannot seem to get by on less than 8 hours and most nights my body wants more than that, we are talking in excess of 10 hours. So I am just going to have to bite the bullet and get up when the alarm goes off or pay the price by having to do long runs in the dark. Now I remember how all last years Boston miles got logged. Late night runs around Richmond Heights in the freezing cold. Oh yeah, thats why I said I would never train for Boston again unless I moved somewhere warm. How easily we forget.
Maybe more coffee is the key ;)

hi, nice pics, nice pace... but, honestly, i'm back here for 'Just a Ride'.
you got to listen to your body when it comes to sleep. Almost nobody gets enough sleep with the lifestyle people live these days.
Cheers.
Rice.
I heart cheese as well! See you on Saturday morning!
I've heard elite triathletes pretty much do nothing but train, eat and sleep. And they sleep a lot. I've never had that luxury. I am thankful for a bit of flexibility in my work schedule -- today is a 10 mile run at lunchtime (then lunch at my desk while I work).
Get the rest you need; but no more than that -- you got some miles to put in!
Good luck in the Chili Bowl! It sounds yummy....it's so cold this morning that may be what I need for lunch.
Wog is a great word! I may have to start using that!
