That's the main thing that I truly didn't realize the importance of when I embarked upon this IM journey. Working out is ALL about recovery. You stress the body, it needs to recover. Well, gone are the days when I can simply come home from my long run and take a 2 hour power nap. My last post, I wrote that I was too tired to train. Yup, that pretty much sums up my life right about now. I am tired about 90% of the time. I am lucky if I get 6 hours of sleep a night. Although, my body is slowly starting to get used to 6 hours (instead of 8+) as the norm.
Becoming a mom is the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life. It is also the most rewarding - and you can witness it if you visit my Niblet blog. Yet to be a happy mom, I need to exercise. I guess you can call it my vice. So, I exercise, time permitting. I just wish I had more time to recover.. Sigh..

you used to normally get 8+ hours ? that's very good ! 6 hours a night is workable but a bit draining for me also. but i'm glad you are finding things rewarding !
