Notes:

  
Tuesday we went "Gold" on Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar. As a thank you to the game team for working many long days, we were giving Thursday and Friday off. So of course I spent my day off Playing the game. The problem is It can be quite a time eater. By the time I had dominated about 2/3rds of a gigantic galaxy, it was 3:45am. I managed to get some to bed.

  My wife still had to work so I woke up around 7:30.  Giving me a grand total of 3ish hours of sleep. So of course I ended up back in my room continuing my game. After 2 more hours I had crushed the Drengin under heal, and was feeling up to doing my run.

  The point of this forward is that 3 hours of sleep is not quite recommended before speedwork. The run was hard. It was harder than my Yasso 800's on Tuesday. I did it, and it worked out well. But It was hard. Tomorrow is a rest day, and boy am I happy about that.

  Of course there is the 22 miles on Sunday.....
