High Mileage Runs + Tween Sleepover = Do NOT Mix
substitute "tween sleepover" with "sleep deprivation"
Goals:
1. Back-to-back long runs on Saturday and Sunday.
2. Host a Hello Kitty, rainbows and glitter slumber party.
Strategy:
Saturday morning is free.
There is plenty of time to run after my daughter's sleepover ends at 9am.
Reality:
Saturday: Run done as planned. Check!
Sunday: Found myself still up at 1am to the sound of persistent giggles.
By 3am Sunday: I was pretty certain the run was not happening Sunday morning.
By 2pm Sunday: while attached to the sofa, exhausted, I knew the run was not going to happen that day. Monday: Still recovering. Cleaning popcorn from between the sofa cushions.
Tuesday: Jumped back to where I was supposed to be on the plan.
Most importantly, the sleepover was a Hello Kitty, rainbows and glitter success!

Hello Kitty - time to clean up your mess...
Definitely send me the plan you were speaking of: jamesdavid (at) sbcglobal (dot) com
I remember being a part of those kinds of slumber parties. I was always the instigator that kept some part of the party crew up till dawn.
That's the perfect example of life getting in the way of a good plan. It happens.
Good things like this can get in the way of training any time. If it was successful, even better.
I don't function well on limited/no sleep AT ALL! Good call taking the rest.
Glad to hear the party went well. Sounds like a hectic week! Hope you have recovered and are doing well.
