3+6+3+1.5+3+3+1.5= TIRED!

RUN 12.3 miles, cumulative time 1:54
COMMUTE 6.4 miles

Whew what a day. I had a 13 hour assay with 3hr timepoints. The original plan was to run to work at 6am, work, run home, walk dog, run back, work, then run home again to get in 4x3miles. A four-a-day! But that didn't sound like a great idea, especially for that afternoon run. So I changed it to run to work at 6am, work, run FoPa during the incubation, run home, walk dog, bike back. That way I get a bonus ride and save time, and I won't be sitting at lab in that first step, and I'll be saving time because running takes 30 mins while biking only 20-ish.

Up at 4:30, left house with a light brekkie at 6. Mummsie was tracking me, oddly this kept me on schedule more. The run to work felt great, no Camelbak, but my back was still uncomfy. Got my stuff done (all 15 mins of it!) then headed to Forest Park for a 6 mile out n back.

I saw a bald eagle getting brekkie in Jeff Lake, swooping and shopping for the most juicy sweet. I saw DD from my old lab biking by. I saw a gorgeous sunrise over the hospital. The early bird definitely got the best fish today!

A few more mins of work, then a run home fueled by sport beans. Can you believe I forgot to bring a water bottle? Once home I stretched and rolled, showered, walked dog, then ate. I was 30 mins behind my schedule and didn't get back until almost noon. 3hr time points vs 3.5 hr....what's the diff?! Eeek!

By the afternoon, I was crashing. Tired. Not hungry, hydrated, but tired! Once my last 530 timepoint was done (to be honest it was 5:15, 9 hr time point vs 8.75 hr...what's the diff?! I rode home, dead tired but doing OK.

On my run home I thought about how this was good ultra training. Lots of low aerobic activity. Start-Stops like from aid stations.

I kept crashing all the more once home, but the need to go back one more time kept me going. Poor Shoogs, just didn't have a lot of time for her. Although she did get 2x1.5 miles WALKIES! And extra PB cookies :)

Doubting if I'll do the Thursday run, it will be a wake and see call.
