Discussion: use this week as a warm up ...

use this week as a warm up week and hit the plan fresh next week

That's slacker talk.

ok....why did you miss your mileage slacker?

Bo isn't old enough to look after himself yet. I was able to do a workout while on Punkshit watch, but I couldn't leave for a run. It was after 9:00 p.m. when I started the 8 km. While I could have done the extra 5 km, I felt that it could be counter productive by keeping me up that much later. If I'm still physically active after 10:00 p.m. then the likelihood of sleep before midnight is nil. As it were, I was still up until 11:30 p.m.; even having taken a handful of Valerian root.

If I weren't such a slacker I'd wake up at 4:30 to do my runs, but I'm afraid that is very difficult for me.

Sorry coach, there's no excuses. I'll do my best to make it up.
