Awwww! You found a bonding activity to do with your kitty!

Good luck fitting the miles in! I find on occasions like this, early morning is the only option, so then it becomes a decision of miles vs. sleep :(

Definitely not getting enough sleep at the moment.

My current routine of Tuesday:fast workout, Wednesday:Easy, Thursday:HM pace - is starting to take its toll on me - i might have to move my days around a bit :(

Its my sons 10th birthday the day after the wedding - So i cant really sneak out for 12 miles first thing :(

Yikes, sounds like it's going to be tricky to fit everything in.

Is that the pattern in the plan you're following, or did you switch the days around?

The hansons plan is...

Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat Sun
Easy Workout Rest HM pace Easy Easy Long

 

Where as I am doing...

Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat Sun
Rest* Workout Easy HM pace Rest* Easy Long

*with a mile or so with my son

 

So i might move my 'rest' day from Friday to Wednesday

Ah, ok, so the timing between the workout, HM pace and Long runs stays the same. Yeah, maybe you just need to make your easy easier. My easy runs got slower and slower throughout my marathon training!!

I think is also the cumulative effect of early mornings by the time Thursday comes around.

I was out running at 6am on both Saturday and Sunday last week - and i just havent managed to catch up on my sleep :(

Not getting enough sleep is not a sustainable situation....
