You can run, but you can't hide... from your lack of sleep?

The next time you get less than three hours of sleep, it's a bad idea to go running. Conversely, if you know you are going to run the next day, try to get a decent night's rest. I stayed up until 2:15 or so talking to Karen, then got up at 5:05 to go running with Jason. Actually I tried to run with Jason, but it was more like I labored along intensely while Jason jogged very slowly to keep pace with me. I was a little off my game to say the least, actually it was easily the hardest/worst day of running I have ever had. Next time, I'll just let Jason go out on his own so he doesn't have to barely shuffle along to keep pace with me, or perhaps I'll get more sleep. It took me almost five miles to get loosened up enough to be able to jog anywhere near my normal meandering pace, and it hurt almost every step of the way. Just say no.

Other fun news - Karen has begun her next wave of tactics to try to get me to agree that we need a van. She told me that I must have be thinking about getting a van a lot to be able to talk to her about it so easily. All of this stems from the fact that she said she wanted to trade in "daddy's junk", and I said that the gas mileage was better and the repair costs lower for the junk than for the truck. She is resorting to subliminal messaging, and the jedi mind tricks, I think. I must be thinking about it, so I must agree soon. You are getting very sleepy, vans are good for your garage Obi-Wan. Come to the dark side of the dealership, it is you dessstiny.

(Thank you, Scottie for the inspiration!)
