I have been battling with this lack of sleep for the past 5 months. It's not getting a whole lot better either. 2 weeks ago, I was just not feeling well, so I just couldn't get a lot of runs in (only 1 to be precise). Last week, I tried to get back into things and did pretty well, but struggled at the beginning of the week. Not sure if it's due to my diet or lack of calories.
So I switched up the past 2 weeks of my Runner's World training plan, and hear is how it worked out.

I am trying to eat more, upping my protein as much as I can, and eating whole grains. Hoping this week, I have more energy, but the little guy is making sure I don't. :)
