I went for a run

I have had a really hard time coming back to running. I've been struggling with some weird combination of sleep apnea and narcolepsy. Basically I sleep 16 hours a day. It's been like that since about June. Basically since I recovered from my hip surgery. This makes it really hard to get any research done, and that in turn makes me really angry at myself, and I don't have any outlet for my stress because I don't have time to run because I need to do research - and then I fall back to sleep.

It was a really nice day outside and I got a solid 7 hours in the lab today with no "sleeping episodes". So I rewarded myself with a run. I'm so embarrassed that I had no idea what was half a mile down from my apartment. The same apartment I've lived in for over a year. What the hell am I doing?? Sure, it's hard to get motivated to run when you have no one to run with. Maybe that's why I've spent the last year trying to find something to replace running with. But at the end of the day, there is nothing else. There is just running.

Running in dense woods is pretty scary in the evening. It's amazing how little light comes in. Some parts were nearly pitch-black. And OMG HILLS.
