Tough run today

Last night was a speedwork session, 4 x 1200's, it was tough, but I was able to finish it. For the first time ever, I actually got faster each repeat...just like I was supposed to. This morning I got up early so that I could get my run out of the way.
I was tired when I first got up, and I was slightly discouraged because I knew I had to go four miles today. I was dreading it. I managed to knock all four miles out at a pretty good pace but I was so tired afterwards that I couldn't hardly get back up the stairs to take a shower. I just wanted to sit down and rest, but I had to go to work instead.
I'm done with my runs for the week, at least until I get to my race on Saturday. Tomorrow I'll do a little cross training and hopefully convince myself that weight lifting is my friend.
In other news, my business is finally starting to pick back up. I have already seen eight new patients this week, and I know of at least three more that are scheduled already for later this week. I'm so glad that we're getting busier (knock on wood), I was really worrying there for awhile. There is only so long that you can coast along barely breaking even. Hopefully the upward trend continues.
