Last night I felt horrible, so I called it a day early and went to bed around 9:30. Despite sleeping close to 10 hours I was still exhausted when I woke up this morning at 7:30. Running 5 miles made me feel a lot better though. I overdressed a bit, expected some chilly morning air but instead being surprised by a pleasant 50 degrees. The tiredness returned throughout the day as I struggled to remain awake during Latin class. I took a 40 minute nap at 1 o'clock but was still sleepy by practice time.
Practice itself was fine. I woke up enough to stay near my times and didn't encounter any problems. We did a triple bluff warmup followed by 2x1 mile and 4x800. I ran near (0r faster than) my target times for every rep but was still barely able to keep up with Pfeuffer, who was supposed to be running 10 seconds slower than me. He keeps complaining about being tired and unable to run well but I'm convinced that he just hasn't had a good race yet. The guy kicks my butt in practice every day but I've beaten him in every race. Next time I bet he'll come out on top with a 28:30 or something around there.
It was about 13 miles for the day total. If my knees and shins survive (as I always speculate) I will be going places I've never been before.
Forecast calls for rain tomorrow. Wednesday is another monster. Let's do this.
