and it told me not to go to swim class this morning. So I didn't.
I slept in - I actually slept until past 7, and I did go to bed at 10:30. I think, though, that two things contributed to my need for sleep:
1) Yesterday was a nutty day, where I was "on" from 4:30 a.m. until past 9;
2) I had a really strong coffee from a cafe I hadn't been to before around 7 p.m., and it got me completely wired, so I didn't really sleep well until very, very late (or early, depending on your perspective)
So now I've got to see if I can make up my missed swim session, but I actually feel okay about doing it because I feel better tonight.
I did do the Cascade bike club ride today; I was the leader, and we did a moderate pace. It was so nice not to pound! It was also a gorgeous day - cold, but sunny and beautiful.
And at the boy's baseball practice tonight, I convinced Camille to "run" with me around a 1/4 mile track. She ran about half of it and walked the rest, in intervals. I'm thinking for a 3-year-old, that's not bad! I ran a full mile just to get my "run every day" thing in, but I did it in my work clothes (jeans, sweater, snowboard jacket) and running shoes. I know I looked ridiculous, but it totally served the purpose: I ran at a different time of day than usual, in different clothes, with a different amount of food in my stomach. With goals like those, who cares what I look like?

Where there's a will, there's a way! Work clothes or not. And the little one running with you is cool :-) I'm still laughing about the "just 2000 yards" statement in your last post!!
Wait a minute! What cafe! How could you post a comment about a new cafe like that and not name it? I'm hurt!
Good for you for listening to your body! I'm willing to bet you will come back even stronger and better - with no need to "make up" anything. And way to stick with your commitments of running every day!
Hugs,
Regan
