Tiiired

Completely tired is what  I am.  I'm feeling depleted. And yet I still managed to get to the gym and churn out 1.75 miles in 30 minutes -- with a 330 calorie burn achieved with lots of incline.  But what I'm finding is that the more tired and depleted I feel, the lower my emotional balance becomes.  I was grabbing my bag to leave the gym and felt like I would burst into tears at any moment.  ugh- that's not good!

On a better note:  Tracker UPDATE:  54.7 miles in 2013  ... only 329.3 to go!

And even though Thursday is my night out -- a trip to the library, walk Sadie in the park, stop and Taco Bell for a salad on the way home -- all I wanted was to get it over with.  What puts a person's emotional health back on an even keel? 

On the way home from work, I heard a song called "Shattered" by O.A.R.  where he asks the question "How many times can I break til I shatter?"  We humans are a resilient sort, thankfully.  In the song he says "I always turn the car around."   Sometimes its hard to break a pattern in order to create something new. 

But its important that we all do it from time to time.
