It's been a long week.

Life has been a little rough around here this week. T hurt his shoulder at his Sunday workout causing very little sleep for the both of us. He is constantly tossing and turning and when he does sleep he snores like a freight train. That is turn prevents me from getting any sleep. I've tried sleeping in O's bed but it really hasn't helped at all and now shoulder is sore. :(

Earlier this week the community was rocked when a well known dad, husband and hockey coach suddenly passed away. He was in his mid 40s and died of a heart attack. Although, I did not know him well I did know his children as they were in E's class at school. My heart aches for this poor family, especially for the mom who now will have to raise her 4 kids without their dad. Life can be so hard.

This sad news and lack of sleep has really put me into a funk this week. I've tried to brush it off and continue my normal routines but I am finding it hard to get motivated to do anything beside drink coffee and eat way too many cookies. I skipped 2 of my runs, one day I did a in home leg workout, today I convinced myself that hauling pails was enough. But with the Red Lake Road Run coming up this Sunday I am afraid that I will be totally unprepared for my 10K I have planned.


I am hoping that a long weekend with my own chicklets will help pull me out of this funk, but for tonight a few salty snacks and a yummy drink are just what the Dr. ordered.
