Last night I dreamed some crazy dreams, which lead nicely into a re-visit with my Best Frenemy, INSOMNIA!
What did I learn?
Don't read about the marathon, talk about the marathon, post a blog post about a training run, and then read e-mails regarding the marathon again right before bed.
Because you know what? You'll re-live the entire training run (all 21 miles of it) and all the conversations (including the part where you may be thinking, "if I have to do CPR, am I strong enough right now to do it?") and don't worry, your subconscious will make a few changes for you in the meantime, and no, they won't be those "awesome" kind of changes that result in Hugh Jackman joining the SNOT MTT training team.
I woke up this morning, completely WIDE awake... only... what's that? The clock reads: 12:23a.m. Oh. No. One of those nights. Pretty much, up. all. night.
Hello MTII, it's been 11 months, and I missed you so.
Marathon Taper Induced Insomnia.
I'm there too. I wish I'd get voted off!
ReplyDeleteUgh! I HATE insomnia! One of my tricks--don't look at the clock. It's so much worse when you know what time it is and how long you've been up. Hope tonight is better for you!
ReplyDeletei am right with you, only i have been waking up every hour from 12 am until 5 am. I am a walking basket case. Only 12 days for me then I am off....then enter the post race depression I usually suffer from for two weeks post race.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry... BTW: I am not trying to a PR during my last 3... I was just thinking that it would be cool. Maybe my goal on marathon #10
ReplyDeleteInsomnia sucks...I agree with Misszippy, no clock!
