Just Run Down, Or Something Else?
This week has been a horrible one. At least we got to the gym early on, but haven’t the last few days. This has mostly been due to my fault. By the time I’m getting off work I’m so run down that I have to take a nap, but often it’s hard to fall asleep. Once I do it seems I have to rest for way longer than a couple hours and if I try to get up and force myself to go lift or do whatever I get a headache or am just so lethargic it’s not even worth it. Yesterday I couldn’t get to sleep until about 6 and wanted to try to get up around 7 when Court got off work. Despite my phone being on its loudest volume I missed 4 text messages, slept through the alarm, but was half conscious when she called. We ended up not going to lift and I just woke up this morning at my usual morning alarm again. So 11 hours, more or less. I never sleep that much! I still feel groggy too, hardly refreshed. I know there’s been some mono going around work, and so help me if that’s my problem. I dunno if I’m just run down, sick, horribly off cycle or what, but it’s getting annoying. This weekend is going to be a busy one, but hopefully we can still get the usual gym time in and try to get my body back on track and in the routine I need it to be. I feel bad because I know that Court loves the time we spend in the gym, of course I do, too, and we haven’t gotten that this week. Something needs to change or just get itself back in working order…

Hope it’s not some kind of illness, mate - it might just be "one of those things." I sometimes go through phases where I need 9-10 hours’ sleep (which some people insist I shouldn’t need at my age, but I when it happens, I feel awful without it and I’m useless for most of the day), and then things more or less go back to normal.
Work is an awkward one - one of my former training partners took over as a manager where he worked, and soon became unrecognizably poor when it came to lifting weights, because work demanded so much from him. Don’t let it happen to you

Don’t "mess around", Adam. Go see a Doc if it persists past this weekend. Good luck…later..jeff
