Only had 4 hours of sleep last night and couldn't get out for a run this morning as I was working on a grant application that I needed to get to FedEx by 2:00 p.m., and I needed about every minute. So I finally ran at 5:30 p.m. and felt better than expected. I did 10 miles, the first 2 easy to warm up (with a few pick-ups) then I ran 6,400 on the track in 24:31 and 4 miles easy cool-down. I was intending to just ran a steady 5K at ~6:15 pace but I ended up running 1600s in 6:17, 6:10, 6:00 and :45 to complete the 5K in 19:12 and then I decided to continue another 3.5 laps (5:19) giving me a 4th 1600 in 6:04. I felt pretty good about this run, especially considering I've had less sleep than usual since New Year's Eve. It might be tough getting in a long run tomorrow a.m., however.
