Playing hookey.

This morning, I slept in.

I turned off the alarm, and rolled over.
The rain was pouring down for the fifth day in a row.
I had planned to go row in a single.
I was going to go for a run right after that.

But instead I made a split-second decision and went back to sleep.

This is the first day of more than 5 hours of sleep in 2 weeks.
This is the first day of eating breakfast and showering before a workout.
This is the first day I have read the paper with my morning coffee. At home.

Tomorrow, I will once again wake up at 4:21am.
I will sweat and hurt.
I will workout 2 times a day.
I will train hard for 2 weeks straight.
I will get faster, stronger, leaner.

But today, I slept in.

Don't tell my coach.
