I went to bed last night at 9:00pm!! I was so excited to be in bed that early. The only problem was is that my husband didn't get home until 10:15ish. I ended up waking up and having a hard time trying to fall asleep with the noise he was making (TV, yelling at the dogs for one reason or another, and getting ready for bed). I have decided that I am going to have to start sleeping in a separate room on Wednesday nights to be able to get a good nights sleep for our Thursdays early morning runs. I woke up at 4:45am with no problem. I quickly got dressed and headed out the door. I made my own little water-stop down the street and was on my way. Since this was a progressive run, I decided that I would start off at 10:30/mile and work my down to my MGP by taking off 15 sec each mile. Was feeling pretty good, expect my Garmin was telling me my pace was everywhere from 12:00/miles to 8:00/mile. I didn't think anything of it so I just kept running. Well when I got back to my waterstop I looked down and say my mileage was only 4.75 instead of 5. My Garmin lost me somewhere because I mapped it out last night and this morning using usatf.org and it is still 5 miles. That means my 1st 5 miles was too fast. I just decided to run the next 5 miles. I ended up having to walk at about mile 8 because my stomach was uneasy. It started to settle after alittle while so I picked up the pace again. I did run some extra to make sure I got 10 miles and ended up running too much. I also kept pressing the stop/start button instead of lap button so my time isn't accurate. Other than that I had a great run!!
