Boilermaker Run

I drove to West Lafayette, IN last night so I could get up early for a run.  I didn't get to bed until 1:00 a.m., so it was REALLY hard to get up and run this morning at 7:30.  I snoozed until 8, then finally forced myself out the door.  There was a nice trail down by the river, so I took that.  It started out really nice, but then it went to a dirt path -- think trail run -- but then it went back to pavement.  It varied back and forth like this for the whole time.  I ran 10 minute warm up, 20 minutes fast, 5 minutes easy, 20 minutes fast, then did a 5 minute cool down.  Total time was 60 minutes, and distance was 6.34 miles.  It was a really hard work out for me.  I felt like I was really pushing myself.  I wanted to quit several times!  I am really going to try and get some good sleep the next two nights, because I was really tired all day.  Traveling really takes its toll on my energy.
