I am so tired I want to cry.
My little baby Luke, age 2.5, has decided this week he would rather get up at 3:00am and fool around for an hour than sleep. Oh...my...gosh...I nearly sent him packing last night. And then I cannot fall back to sleep so I have been going to bed, waking up at 3:00, trying to convince him of all the reasons he needs to go to sleep, and then not sleeping the rest of the night.
I am so tired.
At least he gets a nap during the day.
I. Do not.
Training? What traning?
I have done nothing since Monday. Nothing.
Talked to Justin yesterday and his thinking was this is a good week to do less. (he used the word "less" when I have done nothing...) Thank-god. I have the hypo half marthon next weekend. NEXT weekend. He assured me all the work for that run was done a few weeks ago. Thing is, I don't remember...he reminded me, I have the endurance, I can do this, the trick is to NOT do too much before now and NEXT Saturday. tomorrow is a set of mile repeats. I am bound and determined to get out and get these done...I have given my daycare strict instructions, NO NAPS!!! So I get a super cranky child at the end of the day that I will hardly be able to tolerate, (and with me being exhausted, somebody pray for our sanity at about 5:15pm tonight...) but my plan is to have him into bed and he SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!!!!!
Sigh.

I'm sorry to hear that he's not sleeping, and it's messing you up. But you know what I'm going to say. You know it. Two words. Duct tape.
I do have other, even more practical suggestions about what should happen to a child that gets out of bed in the night for any purpose other than to go to the bathroom. However, I admit that some of these suggestions have some side effects that might be worse than the problem. (people sometimes wonder how I got to be the way I am.)
And in this nambly-pambly politically correct world full of nancy-boy Child Service wankers slurping at the public trough who are all too eager to involve themselves in other people's business, following such suggestions, and possibly even saying them out loud, is likely to get you into trouble. Sigh.
Hang in there. It'll seem like next week he wants the car keys, and the week after he'll knock some girl up and move in with her. Oh, wait, I meant that in a reassuring way. (Susi, stop laughing!)
LMAO. keith you slay me! i was sooo going to suggest duct tape too!!! hmm, can you tell who are the non-parents of the group. want me to babysit? i'm not responsible for duct tape residue on bedding or clothing...
and yes, endurance is all done WAAAY before race, so you've got it covered chica. fear not.
I can relate to that feeling. We once had a sick dog and both Mel and I were getting up 3x a night each to take care of her. It was super tough running on a couple of hours sleep per night for months on end.
Hopefully the little fart is good and tired when you pick up him tonight and you both get a good nights rest.
As for your race next weekend...Justin is right...all the work for that run was down weeks ago. This week and next you should be winding it down a bit anyways. I wouldn't worry about it too much...you'll kick out great run!
hey i pulled off IMC without training for three weeks before... Kelly - fear not- you have done the work. you will know it at about 10k :)
As for luke. have you tried drugging him? And if that fails - drugging yourself?
