Go Away Insomnia

After listening to Aria cry for 20 minutes before falling back asleep, I find myself very awake. I want to be sleeping but I'm sure if I go to bed I will just day (or is it night in this case o_O) dream about running or cutting my hair or packing for Disneyland or any of the other numerous things I have going on right now.

So I figured I could think about them in a more concrete way by writing them down and getting them out of my head. (If only it actually worked like that...)


As far as running goes, I cannot stop thinking about running a half marathon. And taking a vacation in Prescott with Brian and Aria while I do it. I perused Hal Higdon's Novice Half Marathon Training Guide today (and by perused I mean obsessively read and absorbed each and every word.) And it got me ridiculously excited to accomplish this. I mean, seeing as how I ran nearly 8.5 miles on Monday and the longest run in this training is 10 miles and I have seven weeks to do it in, I should be totally golden!

My knee has been slightly bothered after that 8 miler but in all honesty I had no business running 8 miles. I have NOT been training my body to go that far. So for next week my long run will be six miles and I will do 8 again in a few weeks.


Tomorrow(Friday) I plan on doing the 30 day shred while Aria naps and jogging 4 miles with her later in the afternoon. I need to keep my legs and knees strong and I know strength training does that.

Okay. Better get to bed...Someone slip me an Ambien.
