Day 4,034 —It Feels good to Run during the Sunrise—

 

 

          So what, I am only on a few hours of sleep. Part of me wanted to stay up all night and do some more running, but based on past experiences a few hours is always a better than no hours.

I am so proud of my daughter’s ability to go to sleep each night and rarely get up in the night. When I was her age, I struggled to go to sleep each night and would spend hours staring at the ceiling as the dread of not being able to sleep set in. I usually don’t have problems sleeping anymore.

I am still wearing my 20-pound vest and my run wasn’t as easy as yesterday, but I still felt fresh when I finished, and it was hard to run up the hills. I saw the goose that attacked me the other day, and I guessed that the side of the parking lot I ran on must have been the side where her nest was. I ran on the other side today, and she left me alone.
