There have been some unexpected benefits to working out so much in the last 2 weeks. While I was enjoying a brisk walk this morning here on Isle of Palms, I thought a while about the one that I didn't expect:
I've been sleeping like a rock.
I honestly haven't slept this well since I was 18. My senior year of high school, I had several free periods, mainly because I was joint-enrolled for english, economics, and political science. So, since those classes didn't meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I had a lot of spare time on my hands. I would leave campus every now and again for lunch, but most of the time, I'd find a nook somewhere in the school and sleep. I must've looked like a wino sacked out in a doorway.
As a got older, my overnight sleep became more and more erratic--basically, I went from being an unbelievably heavy sleeper to an extremely light one. I would wake up for anything--a little light, slight noises, you name it. It would also take me around 30 minutes to actually fall asleep. Now, I hit the bed and the next thing I know, it's morning.
Glorious.
Just thought I'd mention it--because that little surprise benefit wasn't something I expected, but it was definitely something I needed.
So, in vacation news, we arrived at the house on Isle of Palms and have been settling ourselves for a week of R&R. Although we made this trip last year, I missed out on the great walking/running/bike trails throughout the island. It's definitely a great pick-me-up in the morning, and I think it's going to be a lot of fun exploring. Before too long, we'll head to the Fitness Center, which looks pretty large, and see what's available. Maybe there will be an aerobics room or something of that nature for a forms workout.
I'll have more coming as the week progresses. Hope everyone is well!
