Helen is not my friend.

I’ve been feeling a bit tired lately but the worst part is that I haven’t been sleeping all that well. I found out that I’m not the only one. I guess it’s because of the warmer weather but several of us have been waking up repeatedly in the middle of the night lately. I’ve also had a bit of a headache that Advil doesn’t seem to affect. It’s not that bad, though.

The workout of the day was “Helen” and I wanted to beat my time from a month ago. But, as I was saying at the gym, I was a full month younger then, and much faster. It was also 20°F warmer today, in the 80’s, and as a native Oregonian I just don’t function well in the heat. 70°F is about a hot as I like it. Fortunately, I was only off by 20 seconds and I felt like I did OK.

The best part is that there weren’t any new TV shows on tonight so I was able to finish Rain Storm by Barry Eisler. I’m still not going to get to bed early, but at least I finished the book that was keeping me up!
