sleep, interrupted
it was a rough night in the cameron house. the youngest was up in the middle of the night and didn’t want to go back to sleep. her crying woke up the oldest two who then wanted mom to cuddle them too. consequently, i slept in until 5AM and only mustered 7 miles in a little less than an hour. my intent was to run a bit longer this morning. i have more time in the AM to run now that my wife is home for the summer. looks like i’ll have to give it a whirl tomorrow morning.
4 races so far this year. 2 with the ipod and 2 without. the 2 with the ipod resulted in a near miss on a personal record and an overall win. the 2 without included a marathon taking almost 20 minutes longer than my personal record and a humiliating debacle of a 10 mile effort. coincidence?
i haven’t used the ipod for awhile. in the spring/summer/fall there really isn’t as much need for me for extra motivation. in winter, with the cold and darkness of the early AM, i need all the help i can get.
