Since I started getting up two hours early to do deliveries I'm a basket case. Not so much physically but mentally. I NEED my 7.5 - 8 hours of sleep or I lose it. I'm not near as productive or sharp. What normally takes 5 minutes takes longer and I'm irritable. I actually feel sorry for the people around me.
Yesterday after my deliveries I did a tempo run in 4 inches of snow. It was like running on sand and definitely worked muscles I hadn't worked before, especially my calf's and core balance.
That night my brother visited from Winnipeg and came to our place for dinner. I was bagged. We had a couple of beers and that perked me up for a while but it didn't take long for it to wear off and I was in bed by 9:30 pm, although I didn't fall asleep until midnight.
Tonight I was still tired but forced myself to clean up my bike and put it on eBay. It took me until 9:30 pm to get it all done and then I pushed myself to do an hour on the bike. I was actually a little sore in the hips, I don't know why, maybe it was the run in yesterday's snow? I'm really looking forward to a good nights sleep because I traded my early morning shift with the afternoon driver. I'm looking forward to getting up without the ringing of an alarm, that way I know I'm rested.
