I woke up about 4:45 and was out the door a little after 5 this morning. I was running along when I passed a sign that said it was 6:40 and realized I had run longer than I thought and rushed home to get to work.

Now - back to work.

Ran another 4 miles this afternoon. I'm ready for a nap.

AWESOME MILES!!!!! How did you ever get up so early and get that much running in?!? Go to be early tonight!

From tarzan on Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 21:11:18

Thanks, ladies!

Kelli - I think it was because I didn't run on Thursday and my body got a bit of a rest.

Unfortunately, I will probably fall asleep by nine which I hate. I like watching Numb3rs and keep missing it from falling asleep at 8:30 on a Friday night. Such a party animal!
