AM run 4 miles
28.20
14.30 out
13.50 back
done at about 3 after work (about that whole wake up early thing... waking up early sucks)
I was pretty well recovered by this time and only a little exhausted by work
PM run 5 miles
35.51
I forgot to take splits, but i did the second half a bit faster.
I also ended up sprinting for about 200 metres to beat a train at about 13 minutes in. Felt pretty good my legs have been consistantly tired from work combined with running but overall pretty flexable too.

AM run after 6 hours of work
33 minutes
it was very hot as it took place at about 13.00 and very unpleasant.
PM run at about 9:00
38.23
out 18.40
back 19.43
Felt really relaxing to be running in the cool night air after hanging around inside all day. I could feel myself pushing the speed a little more than I wanted to going out so I chilled it out on the way back. I also think that I'm begining to adjust to the new schedule, both for work and for running. I've been meaning to do my morning runs before work, but waking up that early doesn't really appeal to me... Hopefully tommorow I'll make the switch because I dont have to be there until 8

10 mile run (this was based on memory, so i really hope we were supposed to do a ten mile run...)
1 hour 17 minutes... the run may have been up to .6 mile short though because its based on measurments my dad made and he doesn't necessarily measure things down to the foot.
When I started out, I really didn't want to be running but by about 5 miles I started to feel pretty good... not really a run fast kind of good, but more of a "its really nice out and this is much better for me than sitting around watching the telly. I started out really tired from axing out stumps of bushes for about 4 hours prior... which earned me 150 dollars by the by.
Two interesting thoughts occured to me on the run. Firstly, if a car were to hit a deer and that deer were to riccochet into someone running breaking their leg, would the driver be held responsible?
And secondly, and this one takes a bit of a story, over a week ago I was running this same strech of road and I see, in the midst of a hard acceleration up a hill, a group of shady looking juveniles being characteristically shady and the like, one of whom I recognize as a kid from youth group at church. The following weekend, my mother goes to church to some prayer service for kids who got killed playing ding-dong-ditch in what I'm told resembled the very beginning and the very end of an epic car chase. Today I see, right next to the place that these kids were glavanting several nights prior, an assortment of crosses next to the road. After thinking about this for a moment I realize that that kid I knew from youth group really was as stupid I had assumed even though he did really well in school. I mean who honestly plays that game once they have a car... although I guess now that I think about it Rob would probably do it.

4 mile AM run (actually in the AM this time!)
30.06 with even splits
Wasn't bad at all, only problem was that I had eaten a little food about 3o minutes before and hadn't had time to digest. Otherwise, no problems.
PM run
5miles 40 minutes.
took place at midnight.
I decided during the run that I've been spending far to much time and energy trying to go to sleep on time and wake up early. And thus I have reached the conclusion that the best way to reduce stress would be to adopt the college position of it doesn't matter how tired I am. Not that that really applies to running, but in terms of work it possible the best position ever, because I will get work done less quickly and therefore get paid more for the entire day. But also, and more importantly, everyone else will have to pick up my slack and thus I will actually do less work.
