Is it Friday yet?

What day is it?  I've been told it is only late Tuesday night but I feel like my weekend should be starting already!  4 a.m. came extremely early Monday and the day did not end until nearly 9:30 pm when I finally arrived to the hotel after a full day.  Woo...  I think I ended up with 3 1/2 hours of sleep and nearly 17 hours of working and traveling.  There were grand plans of waking up early Tuesday morning to get a cross-training session done.  In the end the extra 45 minutes of sleep won.  I feel a little guilty but the sleep was needed to get through my day in New Jersey at least semi-functional.  All this travel was cool when I was 23-24.  I've enjoyed the points and other perks but 7 1/2 years later I feel like a little old lady.  A day of travel wipes me out.  If I only knew what to do instead...

I'm now home for a day with a lot to do including going for a run, a lot of work reports/miscellaneous in-house work, and catching up with all of you.  I miss 2 days and there are nearly 300 posts in my google reader!

I wish it were Friday.

Your travel schedule bites the big one. When it comes down to sleep or exercise, sleep wins--especially when you've been deprived of it for so long. Never feel bad about that.

Good luck surviving for three more days.

NEVER feel guilty about sleep. You obviously needed it girl.

I agree...the cloudy and humid weather (at least here in NY/NJ) is making the week drag on and on.

That kind of travel would wipe me out too! Hope you're feeling a little more fresh this morning.

You poor thing! If I were you, I'd mark all posts as "read" and move forward. Life's too short. I hope you get caught up and enjoy a run and some real rest very soon. :-)

Just one day and one post at a time. Keep it up!

Traveling that much totally stinks! Such long days! Hopefully the weekend will come soon for you!!

Mark said...

Jamie, you are an awesome runner to be able to balance the work schedule and running as well as you do!

Jeri said...

Honestly, with your schedule, I don't know how you get ANY running in. I would be catching up on sleep during any free time (and I don't really see much free time...)

With as much time as you spent working and traveling, I'd say is Friday enough for you. :o)

isnt it crazy how fast the google reader fills up??

I agree, this week is dragging butt!

SLEEP is vital though. Without sleep I feel like I am sleep walking instead of running!

Have a great rest of the week!!!

I often have ambitions of getting up early to work out when traveling, but sleep often interferes. It's so easy to NOT get enough sleep! Especially for you, right? I hope you have less crazy schedules in the days ahead!
