Saturday: Easy Run on Account of Music City Triathlon Tomorrow

Since the end of our pink eye drama, I have been having all sorts of trouble getting my sleep schedule back on track.  Also, I am embroiled in a love affair with Team of Rivals, the wonderful book by Doris Kearns Goodwin.  Both of these factors have been contributing to my staying up a bit too late AND, as you would expect, having a bit of trouble getting up in the morning.  I have attempted to set my angry alarm clock to the contemporary Christian station in order to have a more positive wake-up call.  Confession: Nothing is positive at 5:25 AM.

Anyway, I did make it out of bed and I did get to the park to meet my friend Dru, so that we could run the 5.8.  It is stifling; just so hot.  Today was one of the first times that it actually felt hotter in the woods, as opposed to cooler.  We just sweltered the whole run, and it felt a lot longer than 5.8 miles  Anyway, we finished, hung out a bit to catch up with the rest of the running crew, and I headed home.

At home, I counted down the minutes till I could take a nap and when Ivan got in bed for his nap, I took a very serious nap, which felt great.  I have also hydrated like a madman in an effort to be ready for the oppressive heat that will be the Music City Triathlon tomorrow.

I will let you know how it goes.  One thing I know for sure is that it will end at Yogurt World!!
