I AM SUPER TIRED TODAY.

I actually was here late last night... well, this morning. I got home at 5 am and slept in until 1:30... guess I needed that! Well, ate lunch and did some laundry then at about 3:30 I headed to the gym. It was supposed to be my "long run" day BUT I wanted to get up early to beat the heat. My body hates the heat! So, as I was driving there, my friend called. I asked if she wanted to run inside with me (it's an indoor football field) and she said "sure"... my goal was EIGHT MILES today!

So, here is the breakdown of mileage:

1. 13.56 (10.59)
2. 14.26 (11.38)
3. 13.46 (10.57)
4. 12.42 (18.37)
5. 13.41 (11.02)
6. 19.22 (10.41)
7. 12.42
8. 22.21

Okay, so my average mile today was 15 min. miles (how ironic is it that my SEVENTH mile is the fastest???). That's NOT good! But, it was hard. AND I finished. However, on June 10 I ran 10K and those times are in parentheses... average of 12.06 min. miles... so I INCREASED my mile by three minutes. I don't know what the deal is! I would have been happy with 13 or EVEN 14 min. miles... ha. I guess the main point is that I am getting OUT there and DOING IT... hopefully I won't completely get 20 min. miles next time! GRR.

Oh, and the breakdowns are thanks to my Nike+ (love it!)...

Well, I am not going to beat myself up over times... slow and steady FINISHES the race!

AND I already beat my body up during the run!

Yet, today I am in a -242 cal deficit (thanks to thedailyplate.com --- if you haven't signed up yet, DO IT! It's free and I LOVE IT! It totals everything for you so it is completely mindless!)

I AM SO TIRED! Afterwards I ate and then "swam"... we didn't "swim" we just layed out for about 1/2 hour and then I dropped her off and got to the lab about an hour ago... I am EXHAUSTED! Grr...

feels like I didn't accomplish ANYTHING today... besides running (but you all know what I mean --- me being a grad student!)

GRR>>>>>> !!!

JE SUIS TRES FATIGUEE!!!!
