Rough day. Couldn't fall asleep until around 2 am last night and then slept fitfully for about 5 hours. Mostly anxiety I think. Fielded a couple cranky emails from parents who don't like me reducing their kids grades 10% for assignments turned in a month late. Raged at our crappy weather and 33 consecutive days without rain ( a springtime record for Salt Lake), tried to take a nap but failed.

Finally got out for a run in the afternoon and had a pretty good wipeout on the trail. Now I'm cut up with a achy left wrist and right hip. I chalk it up to being sleepy while running a fairly technical trail.

Heavily medicating myself now and going to bed. Hopefully.

AM: 9.3 miles on the Pipeline Trail. Got out there at 7:30 which I thought would be early enough to avoid the mountain bikes. I was wrong. I need to work on having more charitable feelings towards them.

Did some reading last night on cortisol and dopamine and how this current time maximizes the production of cortisol and has deprived us of the dopamine moments in life. The symptoms are very much like PTSD.
