I woke up at 6 am at breakfast and went back to bed. I need to not do this anymore. I wake up more groggy. Instead I should take the 6 hours of sleep and then run, then If I feel sleepy take a midafternoon nap. I was very cranky today. I took the yellow dog with me and ended up coming home.

I knew I needed some physical exercise so I went for a 3.5 mile bike ride. That lifted my spirits.

I'm going to go grocery shopping, knit, go to work and try to forget and not be sad that this was such a low mileage week for me.

It's good to have a low mileage week every so often. Don't try to increase your mileage too fast.

I got up and ran after 6 hours asleep, but then I decided to take a bath instead of a shower and I fell asleep in the bathtub for about a half hour.

Wow I have to say I haven't fallen asleep in the tub...almost but got scared I would drown in the tub. I need to get my full 8!

Wow! Now that's a story! Falling asleep in the bathtub, eh?

April, I'm with you. I find that I'm useless after anything less than 8 hours sleep. But I never go back to bed. I just do what I can until it's possible to rest a little bit. I've been spoiled this summer...I've taken a lot of naps.

I've been trying to wean myself off them, but the other day I fell asleep on the couch while lasagna was cooking in the oven. It was in an extra hour. A little charred, but still mostly edible!

Crockpots work great for impromptu naps:) You probably needed the rest April so don't feel bad about it!(ooh it feels weird to call someone else April)

I haven only known one other april

sorry about the lasagna--is it just me or are runners multitaskers big time? LOL
