| | I wanted to do three loops this morning because I didn't get a long run in last week. But I also had to leave the house at 7:30ish to make it to my job site meeting on time. I took a solid nap yesterday, and didn't sleep too well last night. Often when I take naps I get sleep paralysis. I try to wake up, but I can't. But over the years I've managed to train my arm to move a little. Sometimes it's just enough to get it over the side of the bed so that once my arm falls down, it wakes me up. Or sometimes it's enough to reach over to my wife and shake the bed so that she wakes me up. I remember doing that last night and she tried to wake me up, but I just wasn't coming out of it. She would shake my arm and tell me to wake up, but it wasn't happening. So I just kept shaking the bed until finally I woke up. I don't like it. Maybe I shouldn't take naps. Anyway, that was around 3am, and I slept restlesly after that until 5am. Also the darn rooster keeps cockledoodledoing.
Well, I didn't get out early enough to do 3 loops. I barely had time for 2. I jumped in the shower and got ready as fast as I could. We loaded up the van with the survey equipment and headed out. Google maps said we would be 4 minutes late, so I tried to drive a little over the speed limit. We got there right at 4 minutes after the hour. But we got there right before the city inspector, so it was all good.
The run was nice. Lots of familiar faces. Weather wasn't too bad today. My legs felt good. But it's 4pm now, and after walking around all morning at the job site, my legs are sore. We'll see how I do tomorrow.
