Funny how that is

One minute you’re tired, and the next you are up and doing. That makes me wonder if I was really tired at all in the first place. Is there a trick to get past this ‘tired’? Maybe just standing up and letting the blood drain from your brain is all that is needed. On Saturday hours after the swim (that people are still talking about), I was tired and laid down for a minute. I thought about taking a nap, then convinced myself that was not in my best interest. Not a minute later, my sneakers were tied and I was walking toward the door. I ended up running 9 miles. Three hours later I was still awake and no thought of sleep entered my mind. So why was I on the verge of taking a nap? Was I really tired or just bored? I don’t think I’ll ever know the answer.
