So I'm instituting a new bedtime of 8pm, which will hopefully mean I will be asleep by 9pm (sometimes it takes a while to turn off my thoughts and just relax). I went to bed late on Thursday (through no fault of my own) and woke up late on Friday. Not only did I miss my window to complete my morning run, but I was also in a very bad mood (does that happen to anyone else when you miss your run?). Annoyance and fatigue are not the best combination.
Missing the morning run meant I had to run in the evening. When I got to the park for my evening run the sunset was gorgeous...
The weather was hot but not terrible...
and the humidity was moderately uncomfortable...
I was supposed to do a 4 mile run but by mile 2 the evening bugs were getting out of control. So I decided to do a 5K instead...
I pushed myself throughout the run with an aim for negative splits...
And even though I wanted to go to bed early on Friday night, by the time I finished eating, picking up Kai from a school function, and got settled into bed it was 11:30pm :(
Since I know I won't be able to sleep in tomorrow I decided to sleep in today. When I finally got up and got ready I went to have lunch with Kai, Keva & Caleed...
Kai is "hiding"

Carb loading for tomorrow... with a side of crab cakes
Post lunch pics...
Then I spent the rest of the day relaxing, hydrating and working really hard on my push-ups...
but I think I'm going to try and find some new motivation...
Hope you had a great Saturday!
How was your long run today?
What are your plans for Mother's Day tomorrow?
