I figured out a way to punish bad behaviour of my my body.
Today, I woke up too early. Usually, my strategy is to negotiate with my body and just lie in bed pretending to sleep. Well, if my body isn’t going to give me actual sleep, I’m through pandering to it. I got up and by 7:30 in the morning I was out there running. I got a good 9km in before I went on my actual run of 17.5km. Then there was the 2km run home. Maybe that will teach my body that when I tell it to go to sleep, it better listen.
It was nice out that early. It wasn’t that cold, and there was light fluffy snow everywhere. That was actually a problem because it made running harder. And before the sun rises, Mill Creek Ravine can be a little scary. All alone there in the dark. I did encounter a cross-country skier. I also saw a flying own on Pope Hill.
Of course, later on I was totally exhausted and had to take an afternoon nap.
