A disaster of a day to end a very, very long week.    I had a crazy travel schedule this week with early/late flights Monday, Tuesday & Thursday.  I was in Syracuse and Houston plus a 15 hour day on Wednesday in the office and an emotionally draining day I have dreaded on Friday.  Needless to say, I warned my husband on Sunday that this would be hell, he wouldn't see me at all and it lived up to everything I had predicted.   

I woke up to run and did not feel well (my 10 year old had been sick since last Saturday on top of everything else) but figured once I got going I would be okay.   As I drove to running group, my head hurt and I would get extremely warm but kept going.    I started out and felt okay the first mile but by mile 2 my breathing was off, I felt faint and called it a day - but had to run back.  Ran 1 mile and then alternated running with a little walking.....extremely frustrating but I should have just listened to my body.   Such a fine line between to much and not enough.

 It worked out so I could meet my family to help clean the church and all I did was vacuum for the next hour.  Went to a baby dedication for a friend, date with my husband, volleyball banquet for my daughter and grocery shopping for Thanksgiving.   I did manage to sneak in a 45 minute nap and felt amazingly better afterwards.
