week 8 - sunny, cool and breezy day

It was a beautiful morning for running. Lincoln Park was packed with marathon runners training for marathon. I can't help but looked at some of the fast runners, I admire them.

I was a little worried on my performance yesterday because I only had a few hours of sleep. I went out the night before with Robin and some friends. I had fun but I will never ever do that again. Friday evening is absolutely off limit!

I tried power gel yesterday, I had vanilla and caffeine free power gel. I was surprised, they taste quite good. But, I don't know what so special about it, I didn't feel anything at all. I will give it a try again next week and see if it gives me any kind of power.

Overall, yesterday's run was just fine. I didn't run up the hill, I was running a little low at the end. When I got home, I was completely exhausted. I took a shower, had my breakfast then took a power nap. Never underestimate the power of sleep.

See you next week. Happy running.
