Because of the holiday weekend, we didn't have a formal long run planned for the team this Saturday. Instead, a good group of teammates I've been running with quite a bit so far agreed to meet up at Lake Harriet at 7 in the morning. The past few nights have not been the best for me in terms of sleep, unfortunately, and even with turning in early last night I slept through my alarm. Well. I remember turning it off and going back to sleep "just for a minute or two."
Yeah. So that didn't work out so well. It was well past 7:30 before I regained consciousness again, and nearly 8:30 before I rolled out of bed.
This is what happens sometimes, I suppose. Need to pay attention when my body is asking for rest. It's turned out to be a crazy hot day. Tomorrow should be cooler, with chances of thunderstorms. I will take my chances, then, tomorrow morning, hammering out those ten miles solo.
A fairly quiet week of training so far: scheduled day of rest on Monday. Spin class over lunch on Tuesday. Team run of four-miles on Wednesday consisted of "speed games," or "Fartlek" as it's known in running circles. A nice, strong four-mile run on Thursday. Second day of cross-training on Friday with another (relatively empty) spin class.
