Restless

One of those nights were you just can't get into a deep sleep. Luke has been waking up the last few nights crying. The thing is, he's still asleep. So when we go up there we ask him if he's ok and he doesn't seem to know that he has been crying at all. Any parents out there with experience in this dept, please let me know. Rachel was tossing and turning all night too. Darn that stupid baby monitor, a drip of drool can fall from her mouth onto the crib mattress and it sounds like a shotgun going off through the monitor. I know you can adjust the volume, but its either almost silent or it picks up EVERYTHING, there's no in-between. But even before the Luke/Rachel all night party, I still had trouble getting to sleep. Turned the light out at 11 and tossed until about 1. It's on nights like that where I am determined to get up and run in the morning because that seems to be the only thing that makes me go right to sleep when my head hits the pillow.

So, 5 am, out the door. I can tell the days are getting shorter. But its still so freakin' humid out there. Toward the end of the run there was a hint of breeze, but it was still pretty much a sweat fest. I stopped once to change playlists on the ipod (OK, I REALLY needed a break and used the ipod as an excuse to stop). So 5 miles even at 9:18 pace. The pace would have probably considerably dropped if I hadn't taken a short break.

New Mizuno Wave Precision 8's came in yesterday. I didn't run in them this morning, but I'm going to wear them today to break them in a little. That should bring my pace well below 8 min/mile when I where those bad boys. OK, well maybe not that much, but its still cool getting new shoes.
