We've established that yesterday's ride was pretty tough. I spent the rest of the day eating, which is always a good thing, except perhaps for some of my choices. I invented a new treat (chocolate peanut butter Rice Krispie treats), and ate most of the pan. The sugar from that, along with the caffeine from a bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper meant I didn't get much sleep last night. You know when you're so tired you can't keep your eyes open, but behind those closed eyes your brain is going a million miles an hour? Yeah, that.
But I actually felt OK this morning. I got in a decent eight mile run, including some hills. I'm still watch-free, which I'm liking quite a bit. Then I did some yard work, worked on a letter, some plumbing, and had a productive morning/early afternoon. By three o'clock, though, it was over. I crashed hard. I was barely a step above "zombie" for the remainder of the day. I'll need another good night's sleep tonight, and be back at it tomorrow.
But I'll never regret the chocolate PB treats.
Run: 8 miles, hills, + 4 strides
