Running out of energy....
I don't think I'm getting enough sleep. I've been getting up at 4:30 every morning (not totally on purpose- my alarm is actually set for 5) because our apartment is so unbelievably hot. I went for a run this AM and even though it was about 15 degrees cooler than it's been in the past few days, I still felt like I had nothing in my legs. I did a lame 2 1/4 miles and felt like crap afterward. I swam yesterday morning and felt like crap. I'm sure that if I got on my bike that I'd feel like crap after that, too. I guess this is the part where I get discouraged and mad at my body for not cooperating. Not a good idea, but I can't seem to help it. Anyway, I'm going to dinner with a friend tonight and then home to bed. Then it's back to the Y in the morning for more swimming! (BTW, the chlorine is actually starting to take a toll on my hair. I was frizzy to start with and now I'm even frizzier with a faint eau de chlorine thrown in. Joy.).

I think I can safely say we've entered the burn-out phase. I also haven't been sleeping well (I just can't shut down my brain when I get in bed). Yesterday I ran and it reminded me of running while pregnant - I felt like I pushing myself to the limit but was actually going really slow. I chalk it up to sleep deprivation. I hope we both can sleep better. Only two weeks left. It's going to be a fun day outdoors, doing weird and exciting stuff. Nothing more serious than that.
