Tired

It took everything I had to finish my long run. After a late afternoon rain shower I tackled the scheduled 10 miles. The humidity was a bitch. Ever have a run where it's hard to breathe? Well, that is how I felt. My schedule called for 10-miles with 4 miles at marathon pace (9:54). I had to dig deep to get those four sub-9:54 miles. Now that I'm looking over the splits, I see I was rewarded with some decent times during the Big Push. The warm up and cool down times were lousy, but there wasn't any pre-determined time for the other 6 miles.

As I have reported recently, I am tired. My average sleep time is in the 6-hour range. I'm entertaining the thought of skipping tomorrows run. Maybe I'll try some cross-training on the recumbent bike at work. Right now, its just one day at a time.

I always get excited about my "week in review". Hopefully the numbers will match my expectations. I'll post them early tomorrow morning.
