Trying to make fruit loops

Man alive. Today I find myself in Utah and I just finished a horrible run. I am trying not to get discouraged but after running this morning it makes the goals I have set seem like huge, huge, mountains. Now, I know there are many obstacles I have had to deal with and I am trying to keep that in my view. Let me share with you just a few from the last few days.
      I have been in the car for three days straight for longer than an hour or two at a time.
      I have not been in my own bed.
      My kids have not slept at all/ In fact my nine year old was up all night last night because he knew that big foot was in our bedroom.(thanks Dad for letting him watch that show yesterday)
      I am totally and completely dehydrated. You know when you hit mile two of your run and you would do anything for a drink you have not been drinking enough.
      Had to attend a funeral for my grandma. (the funeral in its self wasn't bad. Glad I could celebrate my grandma's life)
     I live at 400 feet elevation and today find myself somewhere around 4000 feet elevation.
    Its hot today. Not complaining about the sun just not use to it being hot at 9 am.
So add all of these up and you get a crappy run today.I know I need to cut myself some slack but when you have a marathon looming three weeks from now you kinda start questioning yourself on days like today.

Oh well, I am going to make fruit loops out of all this and I am going to Disney Land today. (yep another day in the car but it ends in the happiest place on earth)

Keep shifting gears.
