Vacation Week Wrapup (11/9-14)

I actually managed to get out and run all week, but my sleep schedule was so goofed up that I didn't make time for any other exercises.  My tempo run went well, but the next two "recovery" and "easy" runs were way too fast due in small part to my dog's new found speed.  Half-mile intervals went well, too.  The dog is actually getting bored during a 5:40/mi paced 800m interval.  Friday I managed to keep mellow, and still tired the dog out nicely.  Saturday I was way too tired for my usual long hill routine, but I forced myself to do some short hill running with the dog.

I was not good about getting enough sleep most nights, mostly due to playing video games.  I didn't get nearly as much reading as I had hoped (feared?) and almost none of the chores.  I guess that convinces me that I needed the time off to just de-stress and not worry about things.  At this point I'm just happy I kept up with my running, getting through more than 45 miles for the week.
