So I’ve been having a little pity party lately. Gradually last week I started to feel overwhelmed and tired and low. Part job stress, part money worries, part health frustration, and part bad sleep habits, it started to add up.

I took the long weekend off from any workout, had a terrible case of the sniffles - mostly allergy, but also just managed to keep a cold at bay, and forced myself to get some sleep. I feel a lot better, but the best way to describe how I feel right now is “deflated”.

Not defeated.

I do have so much to be thankful for. Compared to where I was last year, things are so much better. I’m a lot fitter and a lot stronger. I just have a lot to figure out. Or maybe I just have a lot of doing to do and the figuring out will take care of itself.

I think it’s going to be another early night tonight. I’m drained today. I think I need to pump myself up with something motivational. Maybe I’ll watch Spirit of the Marathon again tonight :)
