Today’s the Day!
Today is the day of the 5K I’ve been training for with my 8 year old. It rained through the night so it’s going to be wet and possibly muddy although I think the race is in the road. I’m excited and nervous. It feels weird to relinquish some control to an 8 year old. I’m worried about pushing her too hard but I KNOW she can do it. We’ve set a few goals and rewards so we’ll just do our best.
I had a rough day yesterday. I think it’s because I was so tired. I was hungry almost ALL day but just couldn’t find the RIGHT foods…the thing I really wanted??? I did take a nap (with my new contacts in…bad idea LOL). I’m just really worn out. The rest day is sounding more and more appealing but I hate the "lazy" feeling I get if I do nothing. I always feel like I have to be moving or standing (maybe I have ADHD???). Sitting still is usually not an option for me. On top of my workouts I probably get another 2-4 miles of walking in a day because I’m ALWAYS standing or walking or taking the long way. My body is not liking it. I don’t even think it’s about my eating anymore because I’m eating fine. I think I’m just overtraining some and not resting enough. After my 2 hours of working out I usually take 1 or 2 walks during the day or go for a bike ride, etc. It’s like I can’t stop
Being off work during the summer gives too much time on my hands. When I work I can’t workout past my time in the morning but I do do extra walking at school but nothing like at home, I guess I’ll just keep plugging along and hope my energy catches up.
