Too much food...gallbladder can't process...not enough running...help!

After a great run Tuesday morning, I have collapsed into utter exhaustion. Lots of sleep and eating, and no running. I was supposed to go out yesterday morning, but knew there would be no way in hell I could get up at 4:30 a.m. and run in sub-freezing temperatures. I'm still planning on running a half-marathon distance on Saturday, on the river path. I think running that far on the flats will be good training for Pemberton, since a good six miles of it is mostly flat, dirt service roads. I'm going to run at lunchtime again (not quite four miles like ShoreTurtle, should only be 2.5 miles at most) with Paki (summertime training partner who managed to get me this far). I'll still be off by six miles for the week. Maybe I'll get six miles in on Sunday, when Johnny has his TTR Sabino 50k. We'll be giving a ride to my winter, early-morning runner partner, so it should be lots of running fun.

I'm still stressing about the over-eating at last night's company holiday party (all borderline ok stuff for my gallbladder to eat - just too much of it!!!), and not being on track to get the 29ish miles I needed this week. But I am exhausted, so maybe I was/am overtraining? I don't know! All I know is I'm about to enter my "monster month" - along with Ash's birthday, the solstice, christmas, Johnny's and mine 10-yr wedding anniversary and new year's. Then in mid-January, at the tail end of my last 40 mile week, we'll be in San Diego. Then it's Johnny's bday and he'll be outta town for a school seminar. Then it's Pemberton. AHHHHH Too stressful to think about!!!! How am I going to get through this?!?!?!
