I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that.

Well last night was interesting. The hubby and I fell asleep at 11:00. At 1:03 the phone rings and we all know when that happens your heart starts pounding thinking something is wrong somewhere. Well I grabbed the phone and it said "UNKNOWN NUMBER" I answer and no one was there. I actually was able to fall right back to sleep. 3:04 it rings again, this time I grabbed it on the first ring and it said 000-123-4567. My parents are in Africa on a mission and this is the number that shows up when they call (they call from their computer on SKYPE). I picked up and no answer. 3:14 it rings again and same thing, no answer. I started to get worried thinking something was wrong so I ran in the office and emailed my dad to see if everything was ok. He didn't respond so I got back in bed and was able to sleep until 6:30. I checked my emails again this morning and there was one from my dad and he said he was messing around with SKYPE and couldn't get it to work. I was a little angry to be bugged 3 times in the night. For those of you who know me well, you know my sleep is PRECIOUS!

Anyway, on to my workout for the day. I went to they gym to do weights and the treadmill. Started with shoulders and tris (no abs-have to do it later). Jumped on the treadmill and did 6.6 miles at 9:05 pace and 2.4 miles at 8:34 pace. Felt good but REALLY bored today. I really wish they had something to watch other than News, etc. They need a room with bikes and treadmills (like a cycling room) with a movie going (sound and all). I think that would be awesome. I'm noticing that my heart rate is staying around 35-40 beats below my AT on these recovery runs and that when I'm done I am fully recovered in 2-3 minutes. Doin' something right I guess.
