There's something about days that I run. I get up and get out the door, usually before anyone else in the house is up. However, the days that I don't run I don't sleep well. I don't wake up well. I am drained of energy. Caffeine doesn't help.
Those days I dread. It's not that I feel super energetic during the day after I run, but on the days I don't run I'm a zombie.
Easter Sunday, I slept less than 6 hours last night. I planned to get up early and do 21 day fix yoga this morning. Instead of waking up at 6:30 I woke up at 7:30 with less than 6 hours of sleep. Its not that I didn't go to bed. I was in bed at 10PM on Saturday night. I just couldn't sleep. My back hurt, my arms hurt, my legs hurt. Sleep just didn't come to me. As it often doesn't.
Instead of getting to do yoga today, I didn't get to do anything. I was extremely grateful for a 5 minute nap during Easter that I was able to get. It helped me feel very rejuvenated.
Unfortunately it is again bed time and the day that I didn't run, I didn't get even to spend time stretching more than a minute here and there.
Week 1 is in the books and I have no idea how it went, my running was a success, my eating was not. I'm going to guess that my bad eating outdid my good running. I have to find a way to put it all together. Right now I just have aches everywhere and cravings for food that makes me fat.
I'm a big man, 6' 2" and I'm 250 pounds. I'm trying to incorporate running in to my routine for the rest of my life.
