Either my alarm clock didn't go off, or I woke up and turned it off. Apparently I wake up a lot during the night, sometimes even talk to people and don't remember it in the morning. So who knows, anyways I woke up at 8:57 and jumped out if bed and got to practice as soon as possible, I missed the first half mile of the warm up but I made it up in between the warm up and the workout. We did 4 miles to warm up and then 4x800m. The repeats felt pretty easy, I think the last 1 or 2 were tougher. No clue how fast they were, but I think I kept pretty consistant. They felt good, kind of hurt going up the hills. I'm doing the Deseret News 10k. I don't know what to expect but I will have fun with it and try to run a good time. Also I will have to set like 4 alarms in my room to make sure I get up at 5. We did a 2 mile cool down to finish the workout.

I'd be glad to do a wake up call.

Be glad you're not running the marathon. Their busses head up the canyon around 3 am.
