Friiidaay!

I may not make it through the day, I'm so incredibly exhausted. I went a little hard on working out yesterday, and being as it's the end of an entire week I'm pretty much done.

Usually I work out twice a day Monday through Friday and do a long run on Sunday. I ran 16 miles last Sunday. Monday morning I did leg weights and abdominal exercises and then did the stair stepper at work. On Tuesday I did upper body weights and was supposed to run 4 miles but ended up working outside all day in the rain and when I got back there was no way I was going back out into the rain to run. So on Wednesday I went to the gym and did my regular leg weights and abs and then ran on the treadmill for 3 miles. I have no recollection of what happened at work. I would guess that I did not do another workout.

Yesterday I did upper body weights before work. We had a guy coming out to interview for a job and then a couple of us took him on a hike up our short PT hill (around 25 minutes one way). I pushed really hard. Until a few weeks ago I've never been up it under 25 minutes, and at that time went a 24:38 which is good, but only about crew pace. Yesterday I went up in 23:52, which is really good. Then later in the day I ran 8 miles up the side of our mountain. I didn't last long when I got home. I unloaded oak rounds from the back of my jeep and just dumped them in my backyard to be split later. I split some fir and stocked up the woodstove and carried in another 40lb bag of pellets for the pellet stove. I made a quick dinner, showered and went to bed.

This morning I crawled slowly out of bed at 4:30 and went to the gym. It was heavy weights on the legs day. It was slow going. I also did abs again, a little stretching, and off to work. I'm pretty sure I'm on my 4th cup of coffee and I'm just not sure I'm going to last the day. I have a 5 mile run planned for after lunch and it's going to be a rough one. Same mountain road, just not as far. It's been awhile since I've been this tired. I'm guessing I'll be in bed by 7pm tonight.

But Saturday is my no-workout day. I'm excited for that. Sunday's run will be shorter since it's a recovery week (haha). 12 miles. Very nice compared to 16. Hmm. Maybe. I guess it's only 4 miles less. Oh well. Saturday will be a lazy day. It's my favorite day lately.
