It 11 at night and I am sitting in the bathroom on the edge of the tub totally awake. Dude, even though 11 is the new 10 today, I should be at least a little bit tired! The 1:30 run with hill repeats in the down pour? The hour of jumping rope and lifting weights? Why aren't those kicking in yet? Or what about the glass of wine? That should help, right?
Looking back at my day I'm now wondering could it be the two clif shots during the run, each with caffiene? I'm wondering what kind of shots I've been using the previous two weekends since I haven't had this problem in forever. Could it be the venti iced decalf americano that I had after the gym but double checked with them to make sure it was indeed decaf? I haven't had sleep issues with that in the past. Or could it be the brownie, ok 4 brownies I had after dinner? All I know is it better get it's act together real soon because work in the morning is going to get here pretty darn soon.
But in the mean time, the weekend was good, a long swim that included 2x800 neither of which did I beg to be over while doing although I did get kicked in the chest by the old man doing breast stroke kick with a kick board in the lane next to me and wow there were a lot of snorkels in the pool that day. But after was a fun 2hr trainer workout with Leslie and Amy in the garage while watching JackAss and Nip/Tuck. It was quite fun, I hope they will join me again! and then the fun long run in the wind/rain through the flooding and all the hill repeats with Leslie, Heather and Melinda! So happy to have the company on that run, not sure it would have been so sucessful on my own.
But gosh darn it! I want to go to sleep. But I did go shopping on Saturday and although I did pass on the lack sequin short shorts that I know I will someday regret not buying, I did buy a tube top! Can't wait to wear it, might need a 2nd one as I have already planned it out with at least 400 combos with my current wardrobe, of course all paired with and covered by my black puffy coat because it is too damn cold all
the damn time.
ps this entire post had been done on my phone, I am wondering if it will actually publish correctly!

I bought awesome sparkly short dance shorts off of ebay a couple of years ago. Two pairs - I'll see if I can find where I hid them and give one to you. Thought they might be fun to wear at a race sometime. And now that I've lost some fat...and started running...I just might be able to do it!
Sleep - bummer. I find that if I have a hard training day (or couple of days) that I have trouble sleeping at night. Sometimes a bowl of cereal does the trick.
Great job on all of your training!!!!
I love this post mucho much, especially because you wrote it on your phone in the bathroom. I hope you were able to go to sleep!
