seasonal depression

when it gets dark and the days become shorter, i lose my energy and focus.  i want to sleep more and run less. (and let's be honest, can i afford to run less? no.) my average sleep a night jumps from 6 hours to needing 10 or more, and still feeling tired.  seasonal depression is not fun.  this year, i am going to purchase a sunlamp and take more vitamin d to see if that helps.


does the change in seasons affect you? do you have any suggestions to help combat the depressed feelings?

i run 4...

have you heard of this awesome organization called 'i run 4'?  it is so cool!  it is a charity that pairs up a runner with a person who is unable to run.  the person who runs does so in honor of the person who can't.  they dedicate their run to that person.  i find that so inspiring and motivational.

go get paired up!  your runs will never be the same again.

could i be a ragnar ambassador?

i got an email that they are looking for ragnar ambassadors for 2014.  i am not sure i am the most qualified, but i think it would be fun to promote the ragnar relay to other runners so i am going to apply.

i joined twitter and would love to have you follow the adventure.  @WhyNotRun50
