Day 4,149—Almost a Perfect Five!—

 

        Watching a show with my wife at night is becoming difficult with how early I wake up. Last night, I fell asleep on the couch while she put Felix to bed. I think I was trying to read, but I don’t remember.

        After waking up, I went upstairs but realized I didn’t have my phone charger, so I couldn’t set my alarm. But I was so tired, so I went to bed. 

        When I first woke up, I couldn’t find my phone to check the time, so I went to the kitchen and saw it wasn’t even 2 yet.

I went back to sleep and got up almost exactly at 4 a.m.

It was difficult to motivate myself to start my run at 4:30, but I was pretty close. I am just over it. I have had such a stressful couple of weeks, and I have such mixed feelings about everything.

        I thought I would listen to a book while I ran, so I had my headphones on, but I never turned anything on. I went by the area where the water was, and it was turned off! Maybe someone out there hears me, or it just happened. I did basically the same run today as yesterday, but I made some small changes, and I hit almost exactly 5 miles! The only downside was I didn’t do the full segment up the hill on my way home.

        Also, I was struggling to find a picture as I was running, I saw a deer to my left. I stopped to take a picture, and she surprisingly didn’t move.

I forgot to turn off my watch when I stopped during this run, so my time might be off, but that’s okay. 

I wonder how much I will run tomorrow, and where will I go? Right now, I want to get up early and run far. Maybe even do another marathon, maybe more. I need it. I need to do something.
