I tossed and turned until about 4:00 am and then fell asleep. \u00a0My alarm went off at 5:00 am. \u00a0BOTH alarms. \u00a0Yes, my alarm on my phone and Peter, the Rooster, welcoming in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>I groaned.<\/p>\n<p>I was supposed to run 10 miles this morning before church.<\/p>\n<p>Ugh.<\/p>\n<p>MFH took one look at me and said, &#8220;Try to get a little more sleep.&#8221; \u00a0So, I rolled back over and twitched until 6:00, gave up and got up.<\/p>\n<p>MFH made pancakes, I made coffee, we had breakfast and I changed into my running clothes.<\/p>\n<p>Settled on a route for my run this morning. \u00a0A little bit different that usual so I filled in MFH on the change of route and headed on out the door.<\/p>\n<p>I made 1.50 miles and called it quits. \u00a0My legs felt like lead. \u00a0I could barely move. \u00a010 miles of this!?! \u00a0Nope.<\/p>\n<p>Came home. \u00a0Cleaned house. \u00a0Had some lunch. \u00a0Took some cold water and frozen watermelon out to the chickens and then tried to rest again. \u00a0Twitched.<\/p>\n<p>I hope I can sleep tonight!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was an unplanned rest day.
