<p>Good morning. Up wayyyy too early to go volunteer at the marathon. Zoe is coming as are my neighbors. It should be a nice day with nice weather. Once the sun comes up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Unfortunately i got only 3-4 hours of sleep last night, and that is a generous estimate. I am so not into sleep meds, but i may have to consider it as i exhaust all other options.</p>

<p>Have fun volunteering at the race Meri.  Sorry to hear you are struggling with the sleep thing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>House cleaning and a mini Fun soccer tournament for DD today. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a good day everyone.</p>

G'morn!<br><br>
Exciting day of college football yesterday. Wow!<br><br>
Eric,<br>
Enjoy the footy tourney!<br><br>
Meri,<br>
Maybe you could chat with someone to run down a list of why you're not sleeping...<br>
Snoring DH?<br>
Zoe sharing bed?<br>
Old mattress?<br>
Do you snore, or have apnea?<br>
Electronics in bedroom?<br><br>
I'm just tossing out reasons, and hope you're able to come up with a solution. I suffer with sleep issues too....so am sympathetic to your plight!<br><br>

<p>Good morning!  Imagine my surprise that y'all are up so early.  I'm trying to get my tummy to settle before heading out to the Flying Monkey Marathon.  I am undertrained and on the tail end of a cold, so this is not going to be pretty.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meri- sorry about the sleep.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>FB-enjoy the soccer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Porty - enjoy football!</p>

Jebba,<br>
You may check in here after the marathon:<br><br>
Hope it went well!<br><br><br>
I'm supposed to slog on the TM; but am having major loss of mojo this morn.<br>
Oy! yesterday's bootcamp turned my legs into heavy lumps of mush. (nothing like multiple rounds of suicides and burpees to slow down this old bod)<br><img alt="rolleyes.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif">

<p>Oh a Flying Monkey marathon?  Are the medals as cute as the Flying Pigs?  Please post a picture when you are done.  Good luck!</p>

 

[merigayle]

<p>Good luck Jebba!!!!!<br>

<p>Snoring DH, generally does not cause me to wake up.</p>
<p>We are transitioning Zoe out and last night she slept in her bed and i slept on the air bed next to her (worse contraption ever)</p>
<p>yes mattress sucks, we cannot afford a new one.</p>
<p>I do not snore</p>
<p>Electronics-- only a cd player and a clock. a humidifier, but not plugged in yet.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>sigh. there is one more acupuncturey thing i can try, i will try when i go to work Tuesday. I have just been so busy while at work, i forget. Otherwise i may need to talk to the dr. which is really do not want to do. I really do not want to take a script.<br>

<p>I'll try to post a picture.  The "medals" are actually wood. Each year they look different.  This year they are square witht he monkey logo repeating and "Think Monkey" in the lower right corner.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh my, it rained heavily the entire race.  I felt like my shoes weighed 5 pounds each.  Never hit the wall, took some walk breaks on the hills, and jogged in at 4:23 something.  Then I felt like my legs were concrete pillars of pain, and mr jebba said I looked green.  I have the largest blister I have ever had.  So I am feeling more relieved than triumphant.  I'll probably feel triumphant tomorrow.</p>

<p>Way to slog through it with a great time. </p>

 

[merigayle]

<p>wow Jebba! I hate marathons in the rain. Way to go.</p>

 

[Grizzly]

<p>Your shoes probably did weigh 5 pounds each!  Congratulations on finishing!</p>

Meri,<br>
It is good to see you've already looked at some of those sleep situations. Good luck trying to figure it out.<br>
And yes, those air mattresses can be nasty.<br><br>
Jebba,<br>
You amaze me!<br>
That finishing time, rain or not, would thrill me.<br>
Take care to heal up!<br><br>
