Thanks, but no cure needed. Having your one-year old little girl stir in the middle of the night, reach out to hold your arm, and then settle back to sleep is far from a disease…
here’s today, and most days are similar with different workouts
Up at 5:45 or 6
6-7:30 - swim
7:30-8:45 - shower, eat, check email, news, etc.
9-5:30 - work, check ST forums (usually eat lunch while I work)
6 - team swim (if team workout is at 8 Ill run before)
7:30 - team dinner (though typically Id run afterwards)
8:30-10:30 - miscellany (dinner if I ran, watch TV, etc.)
10:30 - asleep

3:30 to 4:00 Leave
4:15 Home
5:00 Run or Bike
6:30 Dinner and relax
10:00 Bed
Understood. If it works for you, that’s terrific!
wow, we’re all very similar especially in that we never have time for rest. Amazing- no down time. I guess I like it that way but it makes for a lot of busy days in rapid succession.
