i think because i went to bed so very early last night, i woke up at 2:30 this morning instead of 4:30. It quickly got crowded here in bed, lying here with all my thoughts, so i figured i’d turn on the light and be productive.
i don’t know why i haven’t written here for a few days. i will say that my weekend was very good as well as busy.
one of the highlights was a hostess ding dong.
and really, what could be finer than getting a totally unexpected hostess ding dong? i can’t think of much.
i was going to write saturday night, because i was also up at 2:30, but then i willed myself to GO BACK TO SLEEP. i didn’t for a while, but at least my eyes were closed.
i was worried sat. night about the upcoming TRIATHLON. for some reason i was panicked about the swimming portion of the race.
i got up at 5:50 yesterday morning, in order to get to the race in a timely manner. let me just say that it’s very beautiful at that time of morning, and i hope to get up that early again sometime.
sometime.
not this morning.
oh yeah, so one of the things this weekend was the triathlon. which i completed. i didn’t drown during the swim, although it was a little touch and go there near the end. funny, the swim only took me four minutes, but that was a very long four minutes. the placid and clear fit club pool which i’d been swimming in for the past couple of weeks was more like swimming in the ocean. the water was cloudy, the waves were enormous, and of course i started out much faster than i should have and was ready to collapse and die about halfway through. plus, a chubby older guy was swimming right behind me, and at the beginning i’d assumed he wouldn’t catch me, but i could feel him close by, breathing down my neck (metaphorically of course).
i staggered out of the building after the swim and ran outside where it was COMPLETELY FREEZING, and not good to be dripping wet. i didn’t want to take the time to dry off, which made pulling on my long running pants quite challenging.
the bike ride wasn’t too terrible, except there was a strong wind on the ride out. coming back, i mostly coasted.
the run wasn’t too bad, but only because i’m not doing it right now. during the thing, i kept saying to myself SLOW DOWN FOR A WHILE, but i wasn’t listening to me at all.
after it was over, i didn’t feel so bad. i don’t feel bad right now, as a matter of fact, except i hope to be sleepy very soon again.
there’s much more to tell about the triathlon (i’m saving the MOST EXCITING PART for tomorrow), plus about my weekend which involved many other things as well, but i must stop right now and focus on sleep.
ok then,
grace soon to conquer the whole wide world
