Man.  That was a fantastic weekend.  Between 6 pm Fri and 5:15pm Sunday, I left home for only 3.5 hours Sat for a football game and 2 hrs Sat night for an on-call outreach.  I took the opportunity to hole up inside, safe from the rain and bad men/women, catch up Lost and Sopranos and some movies I've put off, watched football, slept, rested, read,

I notice that when I run regularly, I don't need nearly as much sleep. Another interesting sleep fact: most of the studies done on sleep are conducted by the pharmaceutical industry, who wants us to think we need 7-8 hours of sleep a night. It varies depending on the person, season, etc., but I've heard we really only need around 6.5 hours of sleep per night. And believe you me, too much sleep leaves you feeling more tired that not enough!

Here's a jogging tip for you as well. Pretend that there's a hideous ape that will come out of your closet and eat you if you don't wake up and run. Then when you're running, increase your speed by pretending you're being chased by the hideous ape. Yell, "Help! I'm being chased by an ape! Leave me alone, you monster, you! I'm not your banana!" and look behind you as you go about your run in mock terror and run even faster, like you saw the ape gaining on you. In between runs, use a mirror to practice horrified facial expressions for realism's sake. Give the ape a name so as to personalize it and make it more realistic. And most of all, learn to enjoy running. Soon it'll become a habit and you'll look forward to it!
