I really should be more tired. Every day I set my alarm and it says how much time I have left before the alarm goes off...and it's never more than 5.5 hours. Yesterday it said I had 5 hours and 26 minutes. I really think I need more than five hours and 26 minutes of sleep every night. Especially since it's said the same think for Sunday night and Monday night too. Except I feel pretty rested this morning, definitely not tired enough for a regular coffee by any means (although I read a very persuasive article about the benefits of coffee in the March issue of Runner's World). I wonder how much better I would feel if I actually got 7 or 8 hours of sleep every night. I will probably never know.
Yesterday I finally got a run in. Pretty amazing,huh.
As you can tell from the photo, it is hard for me to take a selfie with the iPad. It's too small to hold in one hand and very difficult to angle. I am wearing my Anna skirt, which I love. I am tempted to break out my entire Anna outfit one of these days and run through DC dressed up like a Disney Princess. I'm not sure if I'm that brave though.
The run wasn't't too bad. We finally have some early spring weather so I really wanted to get out and enjoy it. Thursday is supposed to be back to the 30s again so it won't last long. I brought my stuff today too but we'll see if I have time to get out. I was also starving after my run. I hate how that happens. I didn't bring enough food to fill my belly. It was plenty of food the day before but not enough on a run day.
Evan was getting plenty of recovery food though.
Seriously, look at how happy he looks! I am not a huge fan of ice cream but I love sugar. I guess Evan gets his sweet tooth from me, because his father is not a sugar person.
Ok - off to sleep. I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!!!
I can't believe how little sleep you live on! I need a HUGE amount of sleep or I get sick - upset stomach, colds, or worse. Consider it a blessing that you can live on less. :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, sometimes I can't believe how little sleep I get and seem to function normally. I have never been a huge sleeper and love staying up late and getting up early (even more so now because that is the only time the house is quiet). However, I'm sure surviving on 5 hours of sleep is aging me and clouding my brain. Maybe one of these days I'll get back into 7-8 hours of sleep - that is how much I'd like to get!
