Tired....

Yeah- that came from me.  I know I am always doing a million things at time.  I like to have my cake and eat it too and I like to do it a 100 mph.

But this week, I'm tired.  I'm tired every morning when I get up.  Tired when I go to sleep.  Tired during my workouts.  After my 4th bad run in a row on Monday I realized that I had increased my bike mileage and my running mileage simultaneously and I was not getting enough sleep either.  Saturday, my long run day, I had planned before bed for 11 miles, got up and decided the usual 10 would be fine, and by my 3rd miserable mile I decided that 8 would be even better.  All 8 miles were horrible.  That was after I got up at 0445, put 

my eyes in, brushed my teeth, got half way dressed, got undressed and started back for the bed, then got re-dressed and left.  I should have stayed in bed.  All 8 miles were horrible.  Rested on Sunday.  Ran 8 miserable miles on Monday and realized I needed a rest.  Did only 24 EASY miles on the bike Tues, ran a miserable 2.6 miles Wed, 20 more EASY miles on Thursday, and then I hit today.  Got up at 0445 as usual.  Put the eyes in, brushed the teeth.  Tried to think of what I wanted to do today (today is my do whatever sounds good day).  Nothing sounded good.  Gym sounded horrible.  Running sounded miserable.  Not even the bike sounded good.  So I remembered Saturday and went back to bed.  I slept for 90 more minutes.  Missed Grand Rounds.  And went to work feeling great.  I felt so great that I went after work and did the elliptical for 45 min.  Then I still had some energy, so I ran a mile totally barefoot around the hospital.  Stepped on a big rock, but other than that, it was great!  Now, I have to remember to go to bed on time and see what how far I feel like running in the morning.  If I feel good, I'll do 6 and if I don't, I won't.  Gotta rest sometimes.
