el sueño de la razón produces monstruos; ademas, jacinto el corredor.
for some reason i was stressed during the last 3 days. it wasn't because i was at a research conference; i had been to dozens of them before [0] and i knew what to expect.
in particular, i couldn't get much sleep at all.
just earlier, i figured out why: i hadn't gone running in three days. today was day 4 and i went out for 4.172 miles [1] at a good clip in the rain. i was tired, more tired than when i began, but my limbs felt lighter and my lungs stronger.
now, i feel at peace. i feel like going to sleep in a few hours and somehow i know that i won't have any trouble doing so.
[0] at last count: 34 conferences over 8 years, in 25 cities, 15 states, and 6 countries. outside of my home universities and departments, i've given 12 conference talks and 3.5 seminars.
[1] Gmaps Pedometer is awesome: i used to make rough guesses as to how far i ran. it turns out that i've 1 minute-per-mile faster than i thought i was!
