I was beat today.  Whatever I did yesterday made today doubly hard. So I ran slow since it's my regular run.  Also my Garmin was out of juice, so mercifully, I don't even know how slow.  I'm doing way too much thinking-thinking-thinking since yesterday.  Whenever that happens I wear myself out.  I need to stop thinking.  It's dumb.

I have to literally tell my brain (out loud) to shut up sometimes. It's crazy, but I understand your issues with the thinking making you tired. You have a lot to think about with all that has happened in your family this last week. Take care and know our love and prayers are with you and them!

I am having a hard time believing that being beat means a good 7 miles! I guess I'm just envious :) 7 miles seems like an AMAZING workout - walking would be tired :)

Just don't ask how long it took to do 7 miles. Last week it took me 62 minutes to run 5 miles (or something like that). When I go slow, I can go really slow. Thanks for the good wishes, yes, lots to stop thinking about if there's nothing that can be done about any of it.

or better said, I've done what I could. But there's not much that more thinking/worrying will accomplish.
