Went to bed early last night, and slept in 'till 6:30 a.m. ahhhhhhhhhh. 9 hours! That is amazing!! Luckily Ali slept through the night too. She must have been exhausted from the night before. Aaron left at 5:30 a.m. to go Mt. Biking in Salida with friends so I just slept in and took the kids to the gym later today to run on the treadmill. I am not a big fan of treadmill running, but I don't mind it about once a month. I just put the ipod in and tuned out. My body felt pretty tired from yesterday, but the 7 easy miles loosened me up a bit. After the first half mile extra slow, I locked in the pace at 7:41, which felt pretty good. Stretched for a long time afterwards. Aaron finally got home around 7:40 tonight and he is pretty exhausted too after 35 miles of Mt. Biking on beautiful single track in southwest Colorado. I guess we'll be going to bed early again tonight. I don't think I've ever appreciated sleep more in my life than I do right now...'course this is the most consecutive weeks of high weekly mileage I have ever done in my life too. Time to start the taper. |
