Note to self:  Going on a long run starting at 11:00 at night is not a great idea.  I have never had this happen before, but as I was just about back home I kept getting slower and slower until I was just going at a plod and was actually getting sleepy while running...then I guess I momentarily fell asleep at the wheel because the next thing I knew I was running into a bush on the side of the road.  It was weird.  Never had any idea that was possible.  It must have only been for a moment though because I don't remember any discontinuity really, just that I was all of a sudden running into a bush.  It was a good thing I was only a block or two from home.  Interesting experience.  But I got my 70 for the week.

i normally say that sleep is overrated (as i don't get much of it), but in your case, i'd say you need to get a little more...

I've had similar experiences in late-night training runs and races the extend into the night, and it is indeed an odd experience...

Gotta love it.

I once started a long run from my house up to Guinevah Malibu at 10:30 pm. I remember sitting on the toilet at Third Dam at 12:30 am wishing I had a cell phone to call for a ride, cause I was way too tired (sleepy and physically) and felt crappy. I eventually dragged my butt home around 2 am, I think. Don't think I'll ever forget that one!

The funny thing is that I have been getting plenty of sleep lately. I guess it was just the lateness of the hour. But it was memorable to be sure.
