Friday finished off well. I went for a 4 mile run after work and had a small slice of pizza and a large salad for dinner. I didn't have a ton of energy so we ended up staying in and watching a movie.
Saturday morning I woke up early and met up with two of my girlfriends for a 10 mile run. I was dying by the end and all I wanted to do was get my sneakers off and lay up in bed. When I finally did get home Derek was playing video games, I begged for a little foot massage but he was anxious to get out of the house to do something. I showered and got ready. We ended up going to Panera Bread for a sandwich and walking around the mall a bit (my legs felt like the weighed about 100 lbs. so I didn't last long). Derek dropped me off at home so I could nap and woke me up at about 4:30 so we could go to my Aunts house to baby-sit. Somehow I got the energy to lug a 6 and 2 year-old to the park for an hour, get them to take baths and managed to have them in bed before 9. I cannot tell you how glad I was when they went down, I was exhausted.
Sunday was a lazy day. My Aunt got home at about 1:30 am so we didn't get to bed until after 2. It was a little after 11 before we were up and dressed for the day. We went grocery shopping, I took care of some work from home, cleaned up the house, took an afternoon nap and made dinner. Meals were almost a chore for me this weekend. Nothing sounded "good" to me and I wanted to splurge A LOT. I stayed within my points though, had a little problem with the Oreos Derek bought (never again). We decided at about 7:30 to go out for a run, we headed a new way and must have been about 2.5 miles away from the house when I realized I had to go! I thought I was going to wet my pants. I started to really push myself and speed up but it made things worse. We finally took a short cut through some streets and got to a gas station. I was seriously holding myself at this point...GO FIGURE...out of order!!! I wasn't going to make it home so I ran into the woods behind the gas station and relieved myself. I have never had to go so badly on a run before. I still haven't heard the last of it from Derek, so funny!
Anyways, that gets you to today. My legs are feeling okay, I may have pushed my knee a little hard but it isn't too bad. Derek is worried about my eating habits while training these next couple of weeks. I have been really low on energy, to the point I am taking 1-2 naps EVERY day. I don't take naps so this is a little strange for me. While I was studying for my undergraduate I had Mononucleosis twice and Derek wants me to get checked again. With the stress from work and training he has noticed a big difference in my energy levels. I honestly don't feel like I did when I had Mono so I don't think that is the problem. I am able to get myself out of bed in the mornings and I am getting out of the house (a little). I may call the doctor today and get checked out.
I think that catches you up for the weekend. Not much going on here. I am alone at work this week so I am hoping nothing too exciting comes up!! Have a great day!

Hmmm, maybe Derek should be worried. Sounds like prego time to me. Keep us updated.
Hey you never filled us in on the "naughty" part of your title from Friday. Don't leave us hanging!!!
Sounds like you had a good weekend, but man sounds like you were exhausted. How are you going to do 20 miles per day in the 3 day walk?? You should definitely get checked out. You don't want to miss the 3 day when you have been training so hard!
Naughty = snooping. Well technically I wasn't snooping but I came across the super secret suprise! I feel really bad about finding it, haven't told him I found it!
