Just Feeling Beat
This week I have just felt tired. I've been so beat. My body does not feel particularly sore, just really tired. I've been getting to bed at a decent hour, not as early as I might like, but not really late either. I have been waking up just before the alarm clock is set to go off. Lucky for me, this is a rest week and I do not need to do my morning run tomorrow. I've been coming home from work and napping for nearly an hour.
Today was a really terrible day at work. It was so bad that I question why I even stay at this job. Not only are there problems with the students and some of the other staff, there was something that happened outside of the school that makes me feel very unsafe.
Running was pretty dull this afternoon. It was cool again, since we are just not getting out of this below average slump. There has only been one day that was either average or above average so far this month. I felt tired again. When I felt really tired, I walked some. I figured it didn't help me any to slog through the run, I'm not gaining any fitness from it. When I got home I did four striders which felt better than the rest of my run. I also rode the stationary bike in the basement for half an hour.
I have to pay bills tonight and soak my blisters in warm Epsom salts to try to get all the gunk out of them. Hopefully I'll get to bed early tonight.

Blondie, I hope you will stay safe and I really hope that work gets better (or that you quit)...
Hopefully this rest week will have you feeling more energetic soon! Getting up so early every day is very tough and I admire you for doing it!
