1. First of all I had trouble falling asleep last night and it has been this way all week! Usually I am asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow but this week my mind just races and I can't calm it down for about 45 minutes! Last night my mind is running wild with thousands of thoughts and I begin to wonder if I am having trouble sleeping because of over training but that doesn't even make sense since I only run 20 miles a week!! I finally fell asleep only to be awoken at 3:45am because of throbbing pain in my second to last toe on my right foot. It was quite painful for no good reason!!
2. I got up at 5am for my run and my toe was still feeling funny but I thought - "I am only running 2 miles, no big deal!" So I headed out and ran 2 miles in 14:11 and then jogged the last half mile home. I keep trying to find a way to run two miles without encountering any hills but sadly it is almost impossible to do!! The toe hurt a bit while running and is still tender but I am sure I will live!
3. Tomorrow after work, Brian and I are headed to visit his family. His sister had a baby boy on March 5th and we finally get to see him! It should be a fun filled weekend!
Happy Thursday!!

That does sound like a fab weekend! I love babies... totally get baby fever... until it cries or poops. LOL! :)
I hear ya on the not sleeping... not sleeping it plaguing my life because I just have too much going on. I hope you get some sleep tonight and rest that toe missy!
i wouldn't worry about overtraining too much, but the effects are cumulative so if youve been putting in intensity over the past few weeks it could be catching up to you now.
hope the sleep gets better! and i think i missed what's going on with the toe. if it's waking you up i'd see a doctor, if only for peace of mind. hope that gets better too :)
I hope the random toe pain goes away soon. Have a great weekend!
Definitely sounds like a good/fun weekend ahead! :)
I hear ya on those hills - I love the idea of getting a quick/short run in during the morning, but ugh, nothing "easy" around here! sheesh. that was a speedy 2 miles over there though!
I HATE insomnia! I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight!
ugh, I hate it when I can't sleep! Hope your toe is feeling better...have fun with the baby!
I haven't been able to sleep this week either. Hooray for babies! Have a great weekend!
I hate when I cannot fall asleep!!! Have fun this weekend- babies are awesome!
Have an awesome weekend. I hope you sleep better and your toe doesn't hurt anymore.
i had a crappy time sleeping last night too :( hope you can catch up this weekend! have a great one :)
Sorry to hear about the trouble sleeping. Hopefully you'll get back to your usual quick-snooze soon! Do you have a lot on your mind?
Have a great time visiting Brian's family & new nephew! Aww!
Uggghhhh! Not sleeping is the worst - sorry to hear that and that sucks about your toe :S I wonder what's up with it!
Hope you have a great weekend!
Not being able to sleep sucks!! Hope the toe feels better and that you have an awesome weekend!
Take care of that toe! And have a great weekend. Snuggle that baby!!
ugh sleeping problems are the worst, i always have a racing mind when i go to bed. i blame it on stress :( hope you get some good sleep and enjoy that baby! :)
Sorry about the toe and the racing mind -- both rot! MAybe the fun weekend away will cure them :-)
Ugh I hate when I can't sleep. Usually I have trouble falling asleep but this morning I woke up at 4am and couldn't get back!! The worst.
I find that when I have trouble falling asleep, there is something I can do to fix it. If I'm stressed, I make sure I allow at least an hour before bed to read and relax (ie. no computer, tv, phone). If I feel amped up, it may be because I haven't worked out much that week, or if I'm cramped up and sore I may have worked out too hard. Good luck! I hope you figure things out!
keep an eye on that toe!!! and you are KNOCKING on 13's door!!! love it!
Have fun visiting Brian's new nephew! How exciting!
I had trouble falling asleep earlier this week. Part of it was the excitement of returning to my old company, but then it continued on for a few days. So frustrating!!
Thanks for all your supportand mojo the past couple of weeks J! I've been through this beore, but always kind of snapped out of it by putting a race on my schedule. This time, racing doesn't even seem appealing. I'm changing up a bit and doing more trail/wildeness stuff to see if the change in scenery does the trick.
Have a great weekend!! I think that sounds like fun to go visit the family. I hope the toe gets better soon!
Have a great weekend, girl!
I went through a few weeks of troubled sleep. Totally sucks. I feel your pain! Hopefully you'll be able to sleep better over the weekend when you're in a different place. Maybe the change in environment will help!
Have a great weekend!
Babies are teh best! Travel safe.
