Goose egg. No that isn't a typo I managed a whopping 4-hrs of sleep last night. I did manage getting everything done though so that is at least something. Tomorrow I'll plan on running in the day or it probably won't happen... With such little sleep I decided to just take a nice warm espon salt bath stretch, sit-ups, push-ups and to sleep...

Brings back distant painful memories of tax season. Lack of sleep can be the biggest training-killer. Glad to see you've gotten 6 hours and 6 miles the last couple of days. To me 6 hours of sleep is the tipping point.

I just love deadlines. I think it is becuase that is how I did everything in school (sleep deprived) that I function, or at least think I do, better when last minute. The one bonus of doing everything in one shot is that it is all fresh in my mind. I hope next week we'll both be getting more than just 4-6 hrs...
