The Power of Sleep!

One of the things that I am the worst at is getting sleep. I'm not someone who stays awake for days and days. I just have a hard time stopping to go to bed on time and I think I can get threw the work week on just 5 hours of sleep a night.

Since the Triathlon I haven't stopped to fully recover. Just one day and i got a lot done in that one day off. Since then It's been go, go, go. No stopping. Then yesterday my body just started shutting down, first mentally, losing all and any creativity that I had. Then physically, I just laid around last night going in and out of a sleep until I finally just passed right out, some were around 10:30

After a full 9.5 hours of sleep I'm starting to feel like my old self again.

Triathlons & DVR's

In the passed few years I've started to enjoy being more and more physically active. It started back in 2003 when I ran my first 1/2 marathon. Up until that point I had struggled to run even a 10k. In the last 4 years I my skills have increase little by little. Now I run 6miles regularly twice a week. I've cut my 1/2 marathon time from 2 hours 15 minutes down to 1 hour 55 minutes. This has also translated in my training for triathlons. Back in 2004 I did my first Olympic triathlon. Then I had no idea what to expect in a triathlon. I walked most of the 10k finishing with a 3 hour 19min over all time. Now 4 years later I've started to enjoy training that I cut my Triathlon time down to 2 hour 39 minute time, running the 10k leg of the triathlon time down to 47 minutes.

What does all this mean?

Right now I can only guess... I'm thinking that I might under estimate myself the majority of my life. That right now I have a hard time seeing myself do more than I am capable of.

Maybe I'm afraid of being better than I am?

Now on a separate note, I love my DVR. I had today off from work to recover from the triathlon yesterday (which i really didn't need). Couldn't find a thing on TV to watch, but my DVR help me get caught up on all of last weeks programing.
