I had posted last week about some bad 10 milers. Thanks to all who replied. Turns out it was mostly lack of sleep. The cool temps helped a lot too this morning. I did 10.15 miles in 1:54 - 11:18 per mile. The last couple miles were a little painful, but that is to be expected! I am sure I will be able to do my half in under 2:30, and probably under 2:15, since I still have 6 weeks to train!

    You said you were going to take it easy!

    I'm glad your back up to pace! Amazing what sleep will do for you huh?? I wonder how much better my 5k PR could be if I'd had more than 3 hours sleep.

    Great job!

    It was so beautiful and cool (60s) that I could not resist. I figured I'd make it shorter if I needed to.

    Sleep. I recommend it!
