Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

6:00AM- 8mi with Andy on Davis. Lots of snow. 8:02AP. Feeling extremely exhausted. We had this converstaion..."I don't know why I'm so tired!?" Oh, but I really do all realted to poor choices (except daylight savings, of course) Last week was a bit of a  harder running week as of late, poor sleep, and coming off a long strech of work days. Then yesterday, I ate "breakfast cookies" for breakfast, skipped lunch but managed to eat a cookie on the way home, then Little Ceasers for dinner. Then I went to bed remembering that I forgot to drink any water the entire day, so hurry and drank some water before bed:) Perhaps most of us could find these same reasons, plus so much more to why were are tired, yet we still get up and get it done. Some of us would even dare call it balance. Huh.

I may take a small break from posting for a while, but will still keep up with everyone else.

Long work days and lack of sleep adds up!

Just hibernate for like a week and you'll feel better :-)

I think you get down on yourself for no reason! Look at how much you have accomplished, there is serious reason behind your feelings of exhaustion. I can appreciate that you want to break away from the blog , but remember to give yourself credit! Amazing miles, lots of hours at work, 3 kids, a husband who works like a crazy, your church callings, and the way you always bring pep and energy to everything you do! You are awesome and amazing!!!
