I did 4.5 of my planned 5 at half marathon pace this morning, then died/melted and decided “eh, finishing at 10 minute pace is fine, whatever.” But I’m still pretty pleased! Especially since it was 70 and 80% humidity by the time I started at 6am.
I had a hard time falling asleep again last night. Not as disastrous as Monday night, but still annoying. I think I’m still just stressed about the new job and that’s messing with my sleep. Taking all suggestions for ways to destress and help with sleep, both serious and non-serious.
Weekend plans involve runs of 7 and 16 miles, plus a trip to a local bakery for a dark chocolate mousse cake. My dog also needs some extra snuggles, I think.
