sleep

Never underestimate the power of sleep. The cumulative fatigue associated with running hard up steep hills and strength training left me drained the last few days. Last night I fell asleep on the couch during "Whitney" at about 9:35 P.M. and did not wake up until 5:30 A.M. Unfortunately, the first thing I saw was this guy's mug on the tv (he's a tool as far as I'm concerned). Then, I went upstairs and got into bed and didn't move again until almost 8 A.M.

The result is that I am still a little stiff in the legs but mentally I feel much better. For anybody who claims to be able to get by on 4 hours of sleep a night, I don't believe you. Maybe it is possible for short periods but it is definitely not sustainable.
