Need a break---taking it.
I have been in a major funk this week...with everything, the job, mm training, you name it. I have just wanted to sleep all week. Maybe it's the heat, I don't know. I, somehow, have scheduled myself for SOMETHING every night during the week...I played tennis on Monday night, went to WW on Tues. night, skipped yoga on Wed. night, went to a Beth Moore Bible study on Thursday night. Instead of going to yoga Wed. night, I went to bed at 7:30p. I have decided that I am going to have a normal Saturday tomorrow. I made a decision mid-week that I was not going to do the group run on Saturday...I want to spend the whole day with my hubby who travels out of town Tues. through Friday. He and I are getting up 'round 6am and plan to do 20 miles on our bikes. On Sunday I will play tennis in the hot sun from 1-3 again and then hubby and I will go to yoga at 4pm. THEN on Monday morning dark and early, I will run again. I am so thankful for Shannon, whoever she is, that she initiated a group training session every morning M-TH. This is exactly what I needed and I am mentally ready. Somehow I think I have to take control every now and then and do what I want to do and not something mandated by someone else...then I feel "all better" and am ready to conform and obey again. The rebellious teenager is still there, I guess. I was a "goody two-shoes" teenager and never displayed very much rebellion but I have made up for it since! I will miss seeing everyone tomorrow but I need a mental break. And I'm takin' it!

I tried calling you on Thursday. Call me when you have time!
At some point, we need to plan a bike ride together. I just don't know when! Maybe after the Marathon we can do that on a Saturday.
I'm in Denver -- two weeks of vacation which I needed so bad, but am so worried about all the work I have to do by certain deadlines. It takes a little of the complete R&R out of the vacation as I have to work some of it or I'll never get everything done.
Well, I'm going to be Scarlet and think about that tomorrow.
I will find time to blog, too, and fill everyone in on what's been going on since the party.
Well, getting some good family time in is good for the sould and sleep is definitely helpful. You will be back on track next week and no worse for taking a little running break. You're still exercising with the tennis and the yoga so you'll be fine.
I'm right there with you. Many of the reasons you mentioned are the some of the reasons I was not there today. It sounded like you were speaking MY mind. And the rebellious teenager thing - ME TOO! I agree with Cathy, we all need to get together for a bike ride, especially since I can't run with you guys. Take care, you're doing great!

Good for you Cheryl for listening to yourself tell you what you need to do. You deserve a break!
