Soooooo tired

One of the main reasons that I got into running, were these spells that I would have. It feels like I am going to just fall asleep at anytime. Hard to focus and concentrate on things and then I have a hard time actually sleeping. Makes is really hard to get anything done. I absolutely hate it. Since I started really running last June it really has not happened....until yesterday. It has continued through today and it is really starting to wear on me. I am worn down anyway...adding this on top really has made this week a bummer.

I went to the gym last night to get my 8 mile run in....man I hate the gym. So many distractions and other people to worry about. I am constantly worried about being over the 30 minute "time limit". But it had to be done. Daylight saving is this weekend....so I am hoping this will be the last time I need to go on Wednesday. But anyway.... I really did not focus enough on how far 8 miles would be. It is strange...but I don't really think about mileage that is under 10 anymore. I need to really respect every distance....the agony of my time on he treadmill last night definitely taught me a lesson. I started out a tiny bit faster than my pace outside....but it really took it out of me quickly. I had to keep moving the speed up and down just to get through it. I really hated having to do it. My the time I limped to the end my time was 79 minutes and 39 seconds...and it made me feel even worse than I did before....

Today I was absolutely dreading my 4 mile run. I felt the same way I did yesterday. It has been really hard to get through the day. The last thing I wanted to do was get out in the now frigid wind and do 4 miles. I am proud that I actually did it. My pace was not great and I was pretty miserable the whole time...but I did do it. My time was 37 minutes even. Not horrid....but I am not feeling good....getting ready for Saturdays run should be an adventure....
