To Sleep or Not to Sleep


I’ve never been great at sleeping, and this week has not been one of my best. Between travel to Boston for the marathon and Chicago for meetings, I just haven’t spent nearly enough time in the horizontal position with my eyes closed. Today, just getting out of bed seemed impossible. I still managed to get up and do an easy 5.5mi run, but I didn’t enjoy it as I usually do. I felt as though the birds were laughing at me instead of chirping. I’m not sure if I should take this as a sign to go home and go back to bed, to drink a 32 oz. Diet Coke over lunch, or to just suck it up and swim as originally planned. There’s always a bit of a fine line between what your body wants and what your body needs. And oddly enough what I crave more than anything is ice cream, not that this has anything to do with anything.
