The Week in Review

I'm tired. I don't know what it is but I feel so exhausted and I can't find a real reason for it. I have problems sleeping straight through the night but even still I seem to be getting enough of the shut eye. Work is light this week and I only had a local visit yesterday. On the training schedule is a recovery week of sorts. I had a great 6 mile run on Monday, probably a little faster pace than I should have been going, but I was feeling good and ready to push myself. Tuesday Jillian shredded me in a short 20 minutes. Still feeling the shred results yesterday I went for an easy 6 miles in the snow (oh I'm ready for winter to be done!). I may do some light cross-training or weights today if I clean my place in time. I can't say my husband and I love to clean or really ever do it very often. It is always a long drawn out process that only comes about because we are having a party or someone is visiting. The reason I'm cleaning? Visitors. My sister, her husband, and 3 of their friends are staying the weekend with us as they all have friends here and others are also flying in and staying elsewhere. This all equals a big hometown reunion in Chicago. So they will be staying where it's free :) It will be nice to see them but I really do hate cleaning. And when they come to visit I feel like such a mom. I make chex mix, taco dip, scotcharoo's, have all their favorite drinks, and the pantry/fridge are stocked. Alright off to get lunch and then clean the kitchen floor - good times :)

Hi Jamie

I hear you... I have been absolutely exhausted. I'm blaming it on the winter blaaahs and the fact that so many of my patients are coming in sick and getting me sick and.... Is that enough complaining yet?

Glad to hear you had a great 6 miler and those are the kind of runs that make it all worthwhile.

Have a great family weekend!

You are going to have so much fun with all your visitors. I think you will need Monday off to recover.
