I am on no sleep! Last night was a joke, and lets just leave it at that. My legs were totally wiped out for some reason, probably the extra mileage and the harder workouts are to blame. But I was determined to make it up Harry's' Hill this morning even if it was a major down pour from the rain... I forgot to charge my Garmin last night so I had no time and splits, but the pace was slow and easy and wet and difficult but I Got-R-Done. I know the distance was 8 miles and some change... I really don't know if going up Harry's Hill so slow is any good or not but I guess every run is a great run regardless of how slow it is!!!

Well that's about it I am going to go and dry off and get warm, I didn't know we were living Seattle I hope we can get back to that nice Utah weather real soon!

Even if going up the hill doesn't do any good physically (I think it does) there are definitely psychological benefits. Good job getting out and getting in the run.

Great job Clay showing heavy duty dedication and discipline by running up Harry's in the rain after no sleep. I think the benefits of these type runs (no matter the speed) may not be easily measured but like Andy said are significant both physically and mentally.

So I guess I’m an activist at heart. I noticed we’ve only had 13 votes but 144 views and there are more of you out there. I know some people don’t use the discussion board of the blog so I’m posting this comment on everyone’s blog that has updated in the last few days or so to bring your attention to both the discussion section and the mileage board. Please read the discussion here (http://fastrunningblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,324.0.html) and then vote here (http://fastrunningblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,348.0.html) if you have an opinion. If you already voted, I am sorry about the “spam.” Thank you!
