It is 11:30 and I am still awake. I am so afraid that I won't sleep well again tonight! I'm sick of not sleeping! This is now going on week 2. :( I'm not sure what else to do about it. I'm hoping that after Christmas, my body just has enough and lets me sleep.

You'd think with running 3 miles then swimming 1 that I would be so exhausted I would just fall asleep! NO! Of course not. I'm awake!

I'm nervous to go to bed because I don't want to be up again, but I know I have to try.

Otherwise... happy I ran and swam today. Love seeing the progress. Getting easier to go to the gym. I'm glad I went with Betsey a few weeks ago. Nice way to kind of ease into it. I just need to remember to pack a bag again and go straight from work tomorrow. SO much easier then stopping home first. And I know it is going to be crappy out again tomorrow, so still inside running while the roads are a mess... at least for this week.

I'm still working on figuring out the best way for me to train for the marathon. I have a few different training schedules, but I really like what I've been following for the 1/2 in February. I want to stay on that schedule and just pick up the mileage after that race.

I'll need to figure out the best way to combine a few different schedules for what works for me. I know I'm a begining runner. I did 15 miles last week and only 3 so far this week with skipping last night. With tomorrow at hopefully 5 and Friday at 6, I'd still be lower this week than last, but that's ok. I skipped a day! :)

And then on New Years I have another race, my first 10K. But I'm really not too worried about it. I'll have to see how I do Friday when I run the 6 miles, but I think I'll be ok. Then next week I'll have to do 5 on Monday and Wednesday to make sure I'm ready, and that I have my mileage and endurance up.

This is kind of interesting! We'll see! :)
ok, I'm going to try for bed. fingers crossed I actually sleep tonight.
