After weeks of weird life that turned me into a turtle runner, Popeye without spinach and generally the energizer bunny with dying batteries,
I think I have finally figured out my problem and I am almost back to normal me. I am about 10 days into my 8 weeks of sleep deficit and I am doing okay! I got up and ran this morning (beautiful morning!) and ran at normal pace for the first time in a while, yay! I am off to work again today, although I am tired, I will make it through!
