We went for a swim and soaked in the hot tub at the 24 hour fitness last night at midnight. It really made me feel a lot better for a while, but it wore off by the time we got home. Still, it used up a couple of hours of a very difficult slice. I have a feeling that having a pool and workout room available at all hours will be very valuable.
Watched an awesome Thai martial arts movie, “Chocolate”. Alex was having a lot of trouble staying awake during the movie, even though it was pretty exciting, and I had to keep poking him when he seemed ready to slip away. This seemed to pass for him after about an hour and he became more alert.
At 8am we went on a 25 mile bike ride that lasted till nearly 10:30. Since neither of us are real bicyclists these days that was a major effort. I'm sure we'll be feeling the effects for a couple of days.
I felt pretty alert most of the day. My eyes even improved a little in terms of dryness. After the 3pm nap (which I woke up from after 15 minutes) I felt a little more tired though. The 7pm nap occurred in the car at a restaurant since our dinner plans fell over nap time. I think I short changed the nap a little because of the environment and I also did it about 10 minutes early.
Felt groggy this evening, but no real trouble staying awake so I went out for a walk around the neighborhood with Kerrill.
