Why do I always let this happen?

So it has happened again. I have gotten myself way too involved! Part of me thrives off of this non-stop lifestyle, but the other part of me knows it is not good for me. I have over committed myself again and am not resting nearly as much as I should. I definitely want to be doing all of the things that I am, but it is hard to stay caught up on sleep and school work when you involved in too much. Sometimes it really sucks being interested in so many things! By the time I get home at night my body is so tired from going all day that I do not even want to do school work. My mind is generally okay at this point, but of course the fatigue my body is feeling begins to take a tole on my mind. As soon as I allow this to happen to my mind, I can no longer live presently. So the longer I let all of this go on, the more all of the things I am doing become things that I am just doing because I have to not because I want to anymore. At this point I am loosing the desire that I once had to do these things because I am so tired. WHY does this always happen? I thought I had learned, but apparently not. I have got to stop doing and take time rest. I am working on fixing this. I am working on figuring out how to decided what is really important for me to be doing and what is not. Sometimes being an adult sucks. I really would just love to go back to being a kid and being fairly carefree.

RUNNING!

So if you don't know I am running a 10k(6.2 miles) in February. I started running with a friend, this week, who ran cross country in high school and for a year in college. She has already helped me so much in only three days! Today we ran almost four miles. I have never run that far before. I never thought I could run that far before. When we got to around the two mile mark I started to feel the endorphins kick in. I really felt good at that moment. I was just running. Nothing else. Not thinking about anything, but running and that was a great feeling!  I am incredibly thankful to Megan for pushing me and encouraging me to get better. Four miles might not be a big deal to some people, but for me it is a huge accomplishment and I am so excited to continue the training!
