Optimistic tho exhausted

Today is 9 days straight of running and I'm exhausted! First week total is 13.37. I haven't quite hit the "exercise gives you energy" point yet but it is getting easier. It's easy on my breathing and heart rate, its my calves that I'm worried about. 28 days is a long time to go without a break. Been eating clean tho as a result of all of this. I'm so happy that I have the time to be able to make completing this challenge a reality. I figure if I can run 28 days straight in my busiest time of the year then I have no excuse at any other point.

I've always struggled with the fact that I don't work as many hours as most people. Always looked at it as some sort of failure like I'm not a good enough hair stylist to be busy all the time even having been in this business for 10 years. Now I'm starting to consider that maybe I'm looking at it all wrong. I make enough to support myself and still have enough for entertainment or getting something fun every now and then. Isn't what I'm doing, what everyone else dreams of doing? I work a job I love doing everyday, I make great money, I make my own hours and I still get to choose when I want to work and when I can take a few hours here or there to make the rest of my life balance. Maybe I am way richer and successful than I've considered.
