After having received notes from so many of you, I decided to devote today’s blog to a very dull and unexciting topic.  My Health.

Trying not to be a whiner!  But here goes:

Last Wednesday I had a very difficult run.  I ran with a buddy and there was a lot of wind.  When we finished that run, I was dead tired.  Figured it was due to the wind.  That night, we had storms and I did not sleep well.  Woke up Thursday not feeling rested.  Ran.  Felt more tired.  Chalked it up to no rest the night before.

It stormed again that night, too!  This time severe storms that kept the dog awake.  He was a scared puppy and that meant I was awake most of the night.  Again, woke up not rested.  Ran.  Felt even more tired.  Chalked it up to no rest the past few nights.

THEN, Saturday morning was running group.  That meant getting up very early.  I reset my alarm for a little bit later than usual.  3:00 am.  I dragged my weary carcass out of bed, had some breakfast and drove to running group.

After the first mile I wanted to turn back but MFH (My Favorite Husband) was having a great run so I hung in there.  I was crying I was so tired.  Finished the run, we drove home and I went straight to bed.  Slept 20 hours.

I got up this morning.  I was scheduled to run 4X800’s and I gave it serious consideration but I felt like I did before Saturdays disastrous run.  Decided against it.  Made a few phone calls, fiddled on the computer a little bit and went back to bed.

After another 8 hours sleep, I am up. The heavy fatigue is not quite so heavy.  It is still there.  I will try to go to bed early tonight.  I need to run tomorrow!  I am in training for that 50K and cannot afford to lose too many running days!

That is how I am doing.  I am not really achy.  I have been running a low grade temp.  Not very hungry.  Just eating enough to keep things running.

That’s about it.  Not to terribly exciting of a blog post.  Sorry about that.  Take care, all!!!  Hope to be up and about doing all the things I love to do here shortly!!!
