Sleep and "Oldness"
Okay so as my years have slowly been ticking away I've noticed that sleep is a hardcore need. If I lose two hours, even one hour of sleep I am grumpier, hungrier, exhausted and just totally off for about two days. TWO DAYS!! Its nuts how I can challenge myself to run up crazy mad hills or run an 11 miler on a weekend but getting to sleep on time is like an all-out battle. I mean seriously, what am I doing?? Watching the Bachelor?? Labeling the toy boxes in the toy room?? (actually i was super proud of that anal chore I finished at 11:30 the other night lol...I'll show you pictures!) This is a challenge of mine that I have to work on more as the countdown to the official marathon training start day approaches. This momma needs sleep! Some serious REM sleep.

I'm so friggin sleep-deprived, I'm beyond telling you how many days its affecting me. Lets put it this way: in the past 2 1/2 months, I, who am never sick, have had: 2 headcolds, 1 stomach bug, and am now working on a sore throat/cough virus.
