Increased work responsibilities. Increases patient load. Increased personal stress. Decreased quantity and quality of sleep.

I've been feeling sluggish. I skipped my run yesterday and took myself out to dinner. I felt a strong need to socialize. It seemed to be almost an imperative. If I didn't put on nice clothes and a smile and get OUT, I would crawl into bed with the covers over my head.

Today I needed to move again. I left my gym bag on the corner of my desk all day. It sat there, reminding me of my duty to myself.

The cool air was calming and restorative. I expect to sleep well tonight.

That's my plan. I'm a huge fan of a plans.

  1. I hear you, sister. I was in Houston for a week, my dad was in Methodist. Since I've come home, I haven't exercised a bit. Short days, recovering from 5 days of subs, etc. Back to running tomorrow ((I hope)).
