Hit by the Fatigue Truck




After last weeks big swim/run week i was feeling pretty cruisey, but the fatigue has started to set in a little bit, and i am not so hyper. Last night Carley made me some yam fries to help fuel me through the rest of the week and i am so tired i think i am standing on an angle, well at least i am still standing.
