I did NOT want to get out of bed this morning. This has been a very long week with 4 tests and I am pretty much running on fumes. After laying there for a few minutes, I decided to get my butt moving. I knew that I would have plenty of time for a nice long nap after my morning classes. That was enough to get me out of bed. I also knew that I was going for a run!
Once I got going, my run felt fine; it was pretty good actually. My first mile was dreadfully slow (around 8:30) but I was really tired and my legs were cranky. They wanted to be in bed. Lucky for me running really wakes me up and it really got me going. I was pretty alert all morning and felt great until I crashed this afternoon. After the first mile, I pretty much just cruised. No aches and pains today either. I love days like this.
After my morning classes, I took a nice three hour nap. It felt epic. There are no words to describe how good it felt. I am still tired, but I have the weekend to get some more sleep. I’m not going to the game tomorrow because…
- I don’t have a ticket.
- It is suppose to rain. I am not sitting in the rain for 3 hours.
- I would rather watch it while laying on my couch with a beer, some popcorn, and my friends.
I was also happy to find out that I got a 94 on my Geology test when the class average was a 71. I thought I bombed that test too. I didn’t study much, but I was one of the few people who actually went to class. I find the tests require much less studying when you go to class. I had to find that out the hard way.
I have a long run planned for tomorrow and I am hoping the weather holds up. It has been pouring all day and it looks pretty grim for tomorrow. I am NOT running 18 miles in the rain again. I had to do that a few weekends ago and it was torture. If it is raining, I will run easy and move my long run to Sunday. I am all about the flexibilty!
Enjoy your Friday night fellow bloggers! I am actually getting ready to put on a movie and pass out. I am shot!

Hey I’m in Geology of CA! My first test is Tuesday. I have to say, I’m finding the class a bit difficult. Normal faults and reverse faults…AHHH! Congrats on such an awesome grade! I like your idea of how to watch the football game (i’m assuming it’s football
) Couch + beer + vegging out= good times!
Your Friday night sounds a lot like mine. This week just took it out of me! I am so glad the weekend is finally here! Enjoy your nap!
Congratulations on the great marks!! Enjoy your weekend and REST!!
Football in the rain definitely sounds like a crappy way to spend a Saturday. (Though I am biased because I don’t go to football games in nice weather, either.)
And re: your comment–I am, indeed, running the full Chicago marathon next month. What days are you planning on being up in Chicago-land for the race?
awesome job on the test. and i’m jealous of that nap!
Glad to know that you’re normal and have off days while running.
Great job on your geology test. I knew going to class was a good thing.
