I did 4.5 miles at an 8:32 pace. This was a hard easy-day run. My legs were clunky and heavy from the get-go and never really worked out of it. I felt like a sandbag was in the middle of my brain cavity sloughing its weight around my ears. And I could feel the the ridge of my eyelids all along my eyeballs - they wanted to close sooooooo bad. I didn't run until the afternoon and I'm usually a morning runner so that might have been part of the reason for the tiredness. The other part comes in thirds - a 3 year old third, a 21-month old third and a 3 month old third. All of them have chosen to have sleep issues through the last couple of weeks. It would be nice if they all coordinated their issue at once - say at 2 o'clock in the morning or whenever o'clock in the morning that they agreed upon. But instead they tag-team it and one of them wakes me up every two hours like its shift work. POOOOOOR ME!!! Now my husband really is a good guy and is helpful when he isn't thousands of miles away - but he's thousands of miles away for the year. So as I said, POOOOOOOOOR ME!!! These things come and go, though. So I'm recording my sleep hours here just so I can feel all the more gratified in three to six months when I can put a big chunky 8 in the sleep box every day.
I ran from my sister's house again today. She took my three kids along with her two kids to the park while I ran (she's a trooper!). We all left at once and my three year old started running after me as I went down the street. He yelled, "Be careful Mom! I don't want you to run into those trees." "It's alright. I'll be careful. Stay with your Aunt." I ran a few more steps with my little boy huffing after me. "Be careful Mom. I don't want you to run into those cars." "Yep. I'll be careful buddy. Thanks. Stay with your Aunt." But stay with his Aunt he wouldn't. I had to walk with him to the park and then run from there. As I went running off from the park I wondered if I should be flattered that my cute boy cared enough to worry about me, or deflated because he thinks I'm such a clutz (:
