Drained
Nothing like starting your week when the week before never ended...having to go to work this morning after working all weekend was pretty painful. I think I feel a sick day coming on... :-)
Not getting enough sleep all last week and this weekend caught up to me today; I got to bed early last night but I was still exhausted when I woke up. Thankfully it was a beautiful sunny morning, so I was able to drag myself out for a run. I just ran 6 easy, all on dirt, which I really needed after running on city streets all weekend. After work I did 40 minutes on the elliptical. I had excellent intentions and was going to lift, because I hadn't since Thursday, but I was tired and I really, really didn't want to. So I didn't. And I don't feel a bit guilty about it. (okay, a bit, but it's a very tiny bit, and I'm trying to get rid of it!)
I haven't decided what I'm running tomorrow; I need to work out my plan for the week. There's an 8k I want to run on Thursday (one of my club's low key races) and I'm thinking about bumping my long run up to 16 on Saturday, but I'm not sure yet. What I really need to do is figure out my marathon schedule so I know exactly where I need to be and when, so that I can plan out the next month. But I just don't have the mental energy for it yet; I think that might be a great activity for a sick day. If, you know, I happen to get sick.
