Good run, good weather. I think I may have actually gotten 8 hours last night, but of course that's not going to make up for several days, if not weeks (months?) of sleep deprivation. I woke up this morning with a bit of a headache, but still, the run turned out pretty well. A little slow, but since B. was with me and he only runs a couple of times a week I didn't want to be too aggressive.

I need to concentrate more on what I eat and drink, as I think that that will help me with recovery. I'm bloody tired now (it's about 6:00 pm), which may be from the heat and the runs this week. I'm not exactly an Olympic athlete in training, but this is all new for my body. Or, at least, it's something I haven't done in years. Not steady, progressive training anyway.

Oh! And I bought a new pair of sunglasses today at Target. I didn't realize they had "performance" shades, but sure enough, they had some pretty cool Foster Grant Ironman Elite sunglasses for $17. Rubberized frame, 100% UVA/UVB protection, and shatterproof lenses. Not bad. I was worried that I would have to shell out $75+ for those pricey, high-performance sunglasses they feature on Runner's World, but I lucked out.

The proof, obviously, is in the wearing, so we'll see what happens when I try them on during an actual run on Monday.
