Why can't I do anything on non-running days?

There's something about days that I run.  I get up and get out the door, usually before anyone else in the house is up.   However, the days that I don't run I don't sleep well.  I don't wake up well.  I am drained of energy.   Caffeine doesn't help.

Those days I dread.   It's not that I feel super energetic during the day after I run, but on the days I don't run I'm a zombie.

Easter Sunday, I slept less than 6 hours last night.   I planned to get up early and do 21 day fix yoga this morning.  Instead of waking up at 6:30 I woke up at 7:30 with less than 6 hours of sleep.   Its not that I didn't go to bed. I was in bed at 10PM on Saturday night.  I just couldn't sleep.  My back hurt, my arms hurt, my legs hurt.   Sleep just didn't come to me.  As it often doesn't.

Instead of getting to do yoga today, I didn't get to do anything.   I was extremely grateful for a 5 minute nap during Easter that I was able to get.  It helped me feel very rejuvenated.  

Unfortunately it is again bed time and the day that I didn't run, I didn't get even to spend time stretching more than a minute here and there.

Week 1 is in the books and I have no idea how it went, my running was a success, my eating was not.  I'm going to guess that my bad eating outdid my good running.   I have to find a way to put it all together.  Right now I just have aches everywhere and cravings for food that makes me fat.
