Yesterday evening I headed out to meet my Tuesday evening trail running buddies for what ended up being a shorter then expected miserable run. It was hot, humid, body felt sluggish and I was not in the best of moods. Four nights, without a block of sleep longer than two hours might explain how I felt and my mood.
Last night, I fell into bed at 9:00 P.M., tired and ready for a good night's sleep only to wake up an hour and a half later. When I awoke I felt pretty refreshed but was shocked to see it was 10:30 (not in the A.M.) , thereby assuring another long night of short naps and clock watching. I've become a Master of clock watching and optimistic caculation.......... Ok......... it's 3:30, if I fall asleep right now and sleep to 6:00 that’s two and a half hours................Damn......... 4:45........ an hour and fifteen minutes.................. 5:50....... What the hell, might as well get up.
This morning, after another night of optimistic calculations I got up feeling good, to a gentle breeze and highly unlikely end of June Maryland Weather. (Cool and no humidity). Molly and I went for our morning run taking a longer route then planned, enjoying every minute of it.
In twelve hours everything seemed to do a one hundred eighty “about face”. Sort of a metaphor for life that I will need to focus on in the coming months.
Later... Mike
