SO BUSY! and headaches-Bonus race report!

your daily motivation!

When my sister was in town last week and when she was here I had something to do every night of the week. Last week was also my first week back at work and it was harder than I thought to get back in the swing of things. Every day is a struggle in energy levels. Getting enough sleep is the hardest part of course. I get to go into work later since there are no students to prepare for, so maybe it is time to try running in the morning. However, doing this next Tuesday when students report may be more difficult because I like to be at work at 6, but I'll give it a shot.

I have also had some trouble getting outside to run due to some pretty bad headaches. They are tension headaches from some knots in my neck and I think it is coming from having to stare at a computer and work at a desk more often-especially during these three weeks of training. It has been making me very tired and unable to move at times. It has been debilitating! Today, I actually used a tennis ball to try to roll out the knot in my neck and it seems to be working.

Saturday, I ran a race with my two best friends. My one friend's mom is an ovarian cancer survivor and signed us up for the OROC (Out Run Ovarian Cancer) 5K at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This was my first race with someone I know and it was an AMAZING experience. They haven't been training as long as I have, so I ran the last mile myself, but cheering each other on and having someone to help you pass the time was awesome! They liked it so much, they signed me up for another 5k this Saturday where they could earn their first medal! I'm so excited!

we're so cute! :)
