I am not getting enough sleep lately and it is starting to show in my faster workouts. I got up and 4:30 to meet early at Sasha's to get some miles in before we started, Michelle joined me after about a mile. Michelle was doing 3x2 miles, which is what I had anticipated, but had to be home early. I did 2x2, opted out of the last one because I was not able to hold a decent pace on the 2nd.  Now I wish I would have at least done a mile or something.  11.4

Pm-went to the park and ran barefoot 2 miles and then 1.5 on the road.  Felt good.  took a 1 hour nap today, oh heaven.

Your pace on the first one was awesome. Its likely the sleep and some residual fatigue from your races that got you on the second. Sorry you had to wake up so early this morning. Sleep is such a tough part of training. It should be the easiest part but its not.

You must be exhausted. I know it's a high mileage week, so I hope you get some sleep (I can say that now, cause I've slept 2 nights in a row now more than 7-8 hours, without children, and feel GREAT!). I hope you get through your week how you'd like, performance wise. Happy birthday to your daughter!

Sometimes it is better to cut the workout a little shorter than dig deeper down into a well that is almost dry.

You did well. Plus, if you were doing these repeats towards Utah lake on the first, your second one was a net uphill run, so would have been a tick slower anyways.

Most excellent nap! ...and the mileage and your running still ROCKS, even if you don't feel like it does! You really are a Super Hero! :D
