Focus, focus, go, go!!
Friday night couldn't sleep. I woke up as many other times at 3:00am, it happens often. Hate it. Specially since I know how important is to sleep well to run better. For that reason I took a melatonine pill on saturday night, but I had it too late and in the morning I was so sleepy that couldn't wake up for my Sunday run. Grrrr!
The worst is that this time it wasn't a lack of energy or because an injury.
Anyway, the non running option made me feel so bad until this morning when I ran again. Yesterday my brain wasn't working normally, there was something missing, definitely it was running on Sunday morning. Running is so escencial in my life now that I think I would be crazy if I couldn't do it...
Yesterday pm kickboxing, abs and stretching.
This morning, 9 miles!!
Breathing was some hard, but still I enjoyed my run a lot, specially the 8th mile, there's something about that mile... maybe that I know is the last one for the day, and I enjoy it more than the others. I loved that state, why can't I stay in that 8th mile forever?
Pace was slow... but increasing with the distance as follows:
13.43- 12.02- 12.21- 11.29- 11.03- 10.22- 10.42- 10.37- 10.27
The pace doesn't improve, but still I felt much better today, the sunday resting helped certainly, but also I ate much better carbs this days, in fact I don't eat too much pasta and hate salad, but as I said before now I can eat any thing, if it can improve my running. At this point I felt I have to be focused in nutrition, is a brick that I haven't accomplish yet. Go for it!!
This afternoon Nicole's workout and tomorrow speed workout.

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying runnign so much at the moment. Don't worry about the pace - enjoyment is much more important.
Those splits are terrific Hilda! I agree, sleep and nutrition can make a huge difference to not only your running but also how much you enjoy it.
Great work with fasterning splits! If it comes natural - you are all set:) Glad you loved your run.
Sleep and nutrition are as important as any of your training sessions Hilda.
Nice consistant pace build up on your run - I'm impressed ;-)
Well finally I ran today after not having run for 3 days. While it was difficult to get out of bed, dressed and out the dorr, once I had, I really enjoyed the run. It is such a great start to the day, I find.
Good run!
Hilda, good effort on getting that 9 milers done. keep up your spirits and as long as you are resting, dont worry too much about losing some hours sleep. Mentally rest with music, reading a book, or having an afternoon nap. All the best.
Great job! I think my days are incomplete without exercise now, too! Awesome job on increasing your pace as the distance goes along. I do the same thing a lot of times, too! It's pretty common for my last mile to be my fastest!
Not fun when you can't get to sleep. But great running there though.
