So this week hasn't been so great training wise. I ran 4 miles on Monday while home visiting my parents but then went on a 3 day mini-vacation with my best friend. We did soooo much walking around Busch Gardens and Colonial Williamsburg but I did no running. I set my alarm both mornings to run but just didn't want to. Then I was going to run Thursday when I got home but no, I was too tired. Friday I told myself would be a rest day regardless of what running I did because I was planning to get up and run 16 miles this morning. Well, that failed because I reset my alarm and then eventually turned it off. I ended up jogging/walking a slow 7 miles in the afternoon. Tomorrow I will attempt the 16 miles again but honestly my body is just insanely tired and I don't exactly know why. I think it has entered anxiety and stress mode with the start of the school year coming. I wonder if I should have skipped getting an early set up of my classroom and ran with my running buddy, Nicole, instead on Friday. Ultimately my job matters more to me than the marathon. Or rather, not being stressed out about my job means more to me and so setting up my classroom early was important for that.

I really am just tired which is a not so fun way to start the school year on Monday. I see one of my doctors Monday night so I'll try to remember to get a lab slip so I can make sure all the normal stuff is alright (ie. electrolytes and other random stuff).
