would be the total lack of sleep combined with getting out of bed at the crack of the-sun’s-not-up-so-why-am-i to join my cousin for her morning run.  i struggled today.  she’s gotten much faster than last time we were here when i didn’t have any trouble keeping up with her.  today, i got way behind on the walking minutes and had to catch back up on the running minutes but at least i did it.  if only i could drag my sorry-butt out of bed that early to run back home.  all total, hubby and i did approximately six miles in seventy-eight minutes.  not too bad.  now i’m tired, headachy, and hungry even after eating.
