I had two good strong midweek runs (under 10:30 pace) but I’ve not been getting enough sleep lately, like 4 or 5 hours per night for at least a week. It must have caught up because I just had no gas on today’s run.

It was supposed to be a 7 miler, and I set up to run a route I did 2 weeks ago, but right out of the gate I was dragging. All I could think about was the title of this blog. I tried listening close to the music, looking at houses, working through some work projects in my mind, all of which were not much help.

I got out past the end of the pavement on Fossil Creek Road and did my turn around, but it was about half a mile past the old school house that I just felt I was not getting much and stopped the Nike+ sensor, and walked the last 1.3 miles home.

This week has some more travel (Austin Wednesday through Saturday) so next week’s 10 mile run might have to be pushed to Sunday. The weeks are counting down to race day!

I also want to thank my Mom who is visiting, who donated $50 today and pushed me over the $2500 mark, my goal for fund raising this year. There’s still time to push my higher!
