Jogged over to Mill Race Park from the house down SR 11 in the dark - left at 11pm, so mileage logged on Friday entry.  Headlamp flashing/warning mode since there is no shoulder.  A little scary.  Midnight Glow in the Park 5k from park out the people trail to Walgreens and back.  Fun race - glow sticks illuminating the path the whole way.  A 13 yr old kid hung around for 2 miles after the usually startline sprint crowd thinned out.  Felt strong, like I was running well, but, turned out to be an optical illusion from passing all the glow sticks and the whole night running illusion.  5:42, 5:44, 5:52, blah.  5k - 17:52

Jogged home, ate abit and went to sleep.  6:30 alarm came very early.  30 min. drive to Seymour, jogged 5 minutes for WU.  Elizabeth's 5k - slowly worked into 6 minute pace and died off in last mile. 5k - 18:48

Who needs sleep anyway... Did you win them both? Pretty good results, all things considered - nice work.

That's a big week, Joe. It's tough to run at that time of night on that mileage. Get some rest.
