Two Days and Counting
Well we leave for Europe in less than two days now. This is very exciting although I still have tons to do and not much time to do it in! Sadly my sleep is what's suffering this week as I try to get everything done, run a decent amount, go to work, and not be completely anti-social. I am so tired right now that I'm afraid to go to the bathroom or I will fall asleep in there (I almost did last week).
My running is not too exciting today. I did not get up this morning so at lunchtime I went to the gym, ran 3 miles on the treadmill at 9:00 pace, and lifted weights. I was watching All my Children while I ran which is highly entertaining on a very occasional basis. I've been seeing it probably once every two weeks and I think I am pretty much caught up with what is happening. I really do not know how people can watch those shows every day, they are so brain dead. Anyway after work I'm planning to run 6-8 more miles. Tomorrow I'll be doing a double as well - running a decent amount in the morning and then running about 4 at lunchtime with my dog. I almost didn't go at lunch today because of going tomorrow but I didn't want to stay at the gym forever tonight lifting and I knew I needed to lift this week or I just wouldn't for two weeks. I have become really proud of my arm muscles lately - I feel like my arms look pretty good when I wear tank tops - so I want to stay consistent with the lifting. Hey, whatever works.
Tonight Matt has to go to Fort Collins to do all kinds of stuff so I will be having a quiet night - run, go home, do laundry, pass out. I am so freaking tired. I really want to get some rest tonight because I am sick of feeling tired and crappy all the time. Not sleeping makes me pissy, it makes me run worse, and it makes my brain slower. Hate it! That is enough of a rant though. I am so glad we went out to dinner with our friends last night and the night before so I really can't complain. And I absolutely realize how lucky I am to be stressed about my trip to Europe! Tonight I will just make sure to get some good sleep. And when I wake up tomorrow, I will be able to say we are going to Europe tomorrow! That is sweet.

Barb, just wanted to tell you to have an awesome time in Europe. I didn't know if I would get to you before you leave if I didn't do it today. I look forward to hearing all about the trip and any running you may be able to squeeze in!
