insomnia

tossing and turning. the green numbers on my digital cable box said what i didn't want to see them say...3:00. AM, that is. i always have trouble sleeping on sunday nite, but this was ridiculous...man, don't tell me that cafe down the street gave me a regular latte instead of a decaf one? well i guess i ain't getting up early to work out...

that actually worked out well though. i figured i'd take advantage of yet another april-in-november day and run after work...especially since the next 2 days were predicted to be rainy. anyway, 5 miles up and down the west side highway...2.5 miles downtown, 2.5 back uptown. beautiful, beautiful night. nice change of scenery from the park for a run. ran by the 79th St Boat Basin and reminisced about the Flyers' summer happy hours. Felt pretty good. Though...and I've noticed this before...my leg muscles really seem to tire out a little quicker on flats than on rolling hills (this could possibly be in line with why I did better in the Queens half than the Brooklyn half. And in Brooklyn, I felt stronger in the park than I did on the boardwalk or Ocean Parkway.)

And for all you reality TV followers...did you see this one coming 26.2 miles away? I sure did. And I didn't even watch a single episode :)
