Due to my utterly poor performance in yesterday’s run leg, I skipped my masters workout this morning decided to go running instead. The weather here is back to “normal” - cloudy, overcast, and pretty much just miserable. Oh, and in addition to the clouds it’s already 80 degrees and humid here at 7 am. Wonderful!

I could hear thunder in the background while I was putting on all my running clothes, but there was just a sprinkle of rain when I stepped outside. “Maybe I can do this quick and miss the rain!” I get about a half mile out and the sprinkle starts turning into a shower in a hurry. I made a quick dash to get under an overpass ramp and stood there for about five minutes avoiding getting absolutely drenched. Phew! That was close. The rain finally let up a bit and I very quickly made my way back home. So no swim workout or run workout this morning for me (unless you call that 8 minutes I did a workout). My legs are still a little bit sore from yesterday so I guess I could use a day off of running before hitting it hard.

I’ve been on the worst sleep schedule lately. I’ve been waking up around 4-5 AM everyday unable to fall back asleep. So I’ll just get up and go about my day. I get home usually pretty tired and after my evening workout and dinner, I’ll fall asleep around 8-9. Then I’ll wake up again around midnight and fart around until 2-3 AM before I’m tired enough to go bad to sleep. This has been going on for a week now. :/ I guess I’m getting my necessary hours of sleep in, but it sure would be nice to get eight hours straight.

Back to the start of the work week. I hate Mondays… :(
