Sleeping Late
After an extremely stressful week at work, I needed to sleep late. Usually I do my long run on Saturday at an obscenely early hour. It really is not that obscenely early, but it is early for a Saturday and lately it seems so much earlier since it has been dark for the first 20 minutes or so. In any case, my body needed some rest this weekend. For some reason, I was tossing and turning for quite a while and was up around 5:30, but I forced myself back to sleep and the next thing I knew, it was almost 9:30! The fact that it is gray and damp outside was a definitive factor in aiding my sleep.
Since there is an "event" tomorrow, I flipped my days this week. I am such a creature of habit that I don't like to do this, especially twice in one week. I did what is my usual Sunday run this morning. I went out very easy and just ran. No watch, no time-just easy running. My legs did not feel good, but they did not feel exactly bad either. The weather was strange, very damp and humid. I'm not sure if I was warm or not. I had on long sleeves and could not decide if I wanted to have on short sleeves or not.
I got home and started to do laundry. While the laundry's been going, I did a lot of work with the foam roller to try to alleviate some of the sore and tight areas. Right now I'm feeling better, but I'm going to work more with the roller later on this afternoon.
Tonight is the offical night to "fall back". Everyone remember that we get an extra hour of sleep tonight and don't forget to set your clocks back an hour before going to bed!
