The 'Meh' Week

I started a new job last and while I did pretty well with my training then, this week has been complete crap. I'm working the evening shift at the hospital, some mornings at Gap and not getting a whole lot of sleep or free time. Now, I realize the free time thing sounds like an excuse, but it's half true. If my only free time is going to come in the morning then I would rather spend it relaxing and not running. In the same respect, if I'm not getting home until almost 1:00 am I'm certainly not going to wake up early in the morning to go for a run. And then there's the part about how I refuse to run at mid-day because it's August and I don't want to die.

So what have I learned from this? My adjusting to a new job + fatigue + laziness + desire to have time to do what I want = a really crappy running week. I only hope that I find a way to adapt to my new schedule soon because I still need to teach my body to run 8.1 more miles.
