Pretty sure they are not up for what the legs will want to do

Dang, long distance travel, freezing cold temps, and long work days are really a tough mountain to climb.

The up side?

Legs will be very rested for the 5k in two days.

Lungs?

Pretty sure they are not up for what the legs will want to do.

Should be interesting, and hopefully, fun.

Eight days until April Fool’s Day

Passion power of words
There’s pain from pushing the limits and pain from injury – know the difference

Amazing 12-day streak of eight-hour sleep nights interrupted. Arriving home after 10pm concluding an 18-hour travel day and turning around for 4am trip to airport for Cheryl.

Not Orlando airport, but Sanford airport – twice as far away.

Four-and-a-half hours sleep is staggeringly different.

Four for four and 55?

Four consecutive nights getting eight hours sleep. Months, maybe longer since that’s happened.

Why?

Busy.

What happens with the insidiously slow change in our sleep intake?

Some say we don’t need as much as we age.

Not if we are inactive. But what if our body needs the rest, then what?

Unplanned 55-minute run. About 10 minutes longer than normal.

Felt it at the end. Probably psychological?
