I was able to drag myself out of bed at 4:30 this morning and got 6.5 miles in before 6 a.m.  Now I need a nap at work.

As long as I don't drool on my desk, I might be able to sneak one in.

if you get tired enough, you can sleep standing up. just wear sunglasses and stand against a wall acting casual. no one will suspect a thing...

At the rate my day is going, I may just go home and crawl into bed. The person who took over most of my old IT responsibilities and database stuff just gave notice. Now I will have even less of a life.

Go home and take a nap already, you little workaholic you! NICE early morning run, btw!
