5 very slow miles. All of me felt pretty worn out today. I went to bed last night feeling overwhelmed at all I had to do today and then woke up still feeling like it all was too much. I haven't really felt that way so thoroughly since the husband has been gone. I didn't get to run until about 4pm. The first three miles had me thinking that this would have to be a very low mileage week. Then the endorphins must have finally kicked in because the last two miles my attitude started going up. Ever since the run life has felt much more doable. I guess sometimes I just need some good exercise to work out the negativity. Thank goodness for running.

I cant tell you how many times I have had a day just like that. And my husband is home! Honestly I don't know how you do it day in and day out. You are one tough, positive chick! Running is good therapy as long as you keep it in good perspective and are doing it because you want to and not because you have to. I hope you're feeling better. You can do it!

Thanks Nan! I'll tell you what, I'm going through some real winter funk right now. I find it hard to be committed to my running, which brings me joy, but flexible enough that I can let my whole routine go when my family really needs me or when my mind and body are too worn out to do all the family stuff plus running. I think its important to have goals independent of being a Mom though so I'm going to keep fighting for this one. Dan will be here in just a few days so hopefully that will rejuvenate me too.
