Last night when I went to bed I knew I was not going to swim this morning. I was feeling fatigued and opted for a little extra sleep. Even after eight hours of sleep, I woke this morning wishing I could go back to bed. I do not hurt, my body temperature is normal, andContinue reading “Yet Still I Learn”

Sleep is Definitely Not Overrated
Who ever said “sleep is overrated” most definitely was not an endurance athlete. Last night I was sound asleep by 9:30, Molly the kitty was on the other side of my closed bedroom door, and I slept sound until 4:30 this morning. It was seven hours of bliss. I actually snoozed a few times andContinue reading “Sleep is Definitely Not Overrated”
To a New Day
I spent some time today searching through quotes to write this post from. I have several good ones, but they are not applicable to what I have experienced the past two days. Yes, much to Jill’s surprise this morning she woke to find I did not write yesterday. And it was not even a restContinue reading “To a New Day”

Work, family, friends, social, exercise, and the delicate mind/body/soul balance. Like the differing political views, so too are differing ideas of balance in life. Unlike politics, itContinue reading “Finding Balance”
Zzzzzz Or Lack There Of
I have written before on the importance of sleep. My inspiration to write on sleep comes when I suffer from deprivation of it, such as today. Last night I had the opportunity to have dinner with a new friend and I was out later than usual for a week night. Here comes the pathetic partContinue reading “Zzzzzz Or Lack There Of”
Sleepy
I am learning the importance of sleep. That may sound silly, but it is true. We all know that if an active person like myself tries to get by on 4 hours of sleep night after night burnout is inevitable. Common wisdom says eight hours of sleep is ideal. Well I get up between 4:30Continue reading “Sleepy”
