Fast Running Mommy

I don't know if getting up early every day is good for me or not. I'm okay most of the time but I don't always have the stamina I need to get me through my day...my kids are okay mostly it's just going from activity to activity and having to fight my four year old to obey me...that wears me out more than anything else.  Maybe I should sleep in some days and run around the block when I wake up later?  

It's amazing though that the actual running does make me feel better. It seems I'm more tired and achy on Sundays from not running.....anyway...I'll figure it out but I just need to figure out how to stay sane while I take care of all my babies..including Sasha.

BTW, Sasha was really sweet when he got home on Saturday and tried to take me out for a date....I wasn't feeling up to going out for some reason and convinced him to take the girls out instead...they deserved a Daddy daughter date and had a fun time. :) 

nice normal run....no dark shadows moving although two scary guys walked towards me...I'm thinking, "Those punks...what are they smoking?" As they got closer they were two old teddy bear grandpas out for their morning stroll. 

One time I saw a group of punky teenagers congregating on the trail...turned out to be a group of runners resting after their long Saturday run.  

Resting my knee today...it's been bugging a bit. Also I woke up at 3 and only went back to sleep for a short time before 6 when I dreamt that I passed out in front of the bishop's office on the way to pay tithing for my four year old!!

ARGGHHH! More insomnia..I guess running two was a bad idea yesterday...I also took it easy and didn't go anywhere...so then my body says...Tired..your not tired...you need to work more woman!!!

Okay...I walked a little the last mile because I felt a little faint...it's been awhile since I've done five. ...but it felt great to go longer. 

did five..I don't know if I'll keep this up every day...already I feel that familiar feeling of "I just had a baby" laziness creeping in...which is why

1. I didn't make my bed today

2. I haven't showered yet

3. I did not do any Saturday morning chores with the kids

I did however

1. Run 5 miles around an avg pace of 10:10 or so

2. Clean my bathroom..sweeping, mopping and all

3. nurse a baby a few times and play with him

4. Try not to scream at the kids for fighting all the time..I was patient I was I was. :)

5. Make tuna sandwiches and fresh applesauce

6. Give my boys haircuts..I haven't stopped going....this is making me tired...maybe I should go crawl into my unmade bed?
