Sleeping
I started feeling sick again yesterday. You know how it goes-- sore throat, tired, sore from the day before for no good reason. At first there's denial, the inward chanting of the mantra "I'm not sick, I'm healthy, I'm not sick, I'm healthy." Then, when I realized that I would be skipping workouts I got mad. What right does Sick have to mess with the Master Training Plan?
Then I decided to take a page from the book of Kikkan Randall/Brian Gregg. So I slept. For around 14hrs. Going to bed at 7:30 and sleeping until 9:30, just waking up briefly at 7 to call Erik before practice to see if he really wanted me there or if I could go back to sleep. Now feel much better about life and training.
(Kikkan Randall & Brian Gregg are very close to tied, in my small sphere of experience, for the Longest Time Spent Sleeping within 24hrs Record.)

So that's where you've been!
Get well soon, I miss having you at practice.
Laura,
What is KR's and BG's "Longest Time Spent Sleeping in 24hrs" record?
Get well!
I am researching...
KR says 18hrs straight, post really hard week of training camp.
Laura,
Thanks for doing the research. That is one tired person.
Really enjoy your writings and wish you good luck in the upcoming season.
Thanks!
