daylight savings kickimg me hard--- it always falls when  I work.  I actually TOTALLY forgot it was daylight savings.  Sunday morning when I got up for work my husband had changed the clock for me while I was sleeping.  I got in my car, drove to work and flipped out when I saw the clock in my car and my watch read 5am!!!  I thought  I had inadvertently changed the time on the clock or my kids did and now I was at work a whole hour early (but not really).  I sat in my car for a few minutes wondering if I should go home then decided the night shift would be glad I came in early.  But it turned out to be daylight savings and I was OBLIVIOUS.  Sooo....thinking I got more sleep when I got less was a good thing. It is better then going to bed thinking I was going to get one hour less before getting for work at 6am.  It was funny to me.  On Saturday I was put on call AFTER I already got up and ran at 430am.  Then Sunday I got up at 430am (530am really with the new daylight savings) and then today I got up at 415am (but really 315am only two nights before) and ran before work and heading to Provo's hospital.  I am beyond tired.  My feet hurt.  My whole body is begging to drift off for hours and I plan to do just that when the darn sun finally goes down!!!  I am so tired I am eating junk.  Gaining weight and feeling sluggish.  AP this morning 7:51 for 8 progressive miles (not intentional at first, but when I got to mile five and seeing the progression I decided why not continue with the trend).   Splits for fun: 9:13 (so stumbling, so tired), 8:19, 8:02, 7:47, 7:37, 7:25, 7:19, 7:07.  : D.  I think after Boston I am going to mellow out for several weeks and see if I want to even race SGM.  I am feeling too tired.  And my feet and heels aren't healing.  I need a long break.  REally long.

I hear ya. I've already decided against a spring marathon. With working nights and my newly tight schedule and moving and all the stresses I just don't have the time or energy to run like I was. It's frustrating but I've come to realize it's reality.

Kinda don't believe that you will calm it down after Boston.. Just sayin'. ;) You'll probably get psyched and just want to run more.

WOW, I would be tired too! Daylight savings is not my favorite thing at all!

You are doing great! Boston is going to be GREAT, and they you will have a GREAT little break. I will be GREAT!
