Hills and hurdles - and not much sleep

did a light hill session on friday evening, just Richmond hill at any pace in 66 seconds. Legs are pretty tired so used it as a bit of a stretch.
Friday nigh I was due to pick up Poppy from her Italy trip at midnight, but they kept getting delayed and I eventually picked her up at 3am. So not much quality sleep.
Headed off to the track not knowing whether I'd do it or if so whether I'd finish.

Decided on a 4x200 speed session with 10 mins recovery. Running over hurdles 5-11.
28/29/29/30 for the 4. For the second and third reps I tried to go 16 strides to the second hurdle, but both times clattered it. I think it was because I wasn't getting enough speed of the first hurlde.
Switch back to 17s for the last run and that went OK.
Pretty good session considering the lack of sleep. Left knee a tad sore. Will rest tomorrow.
