What to Do When You Can't Sleep?

My internal clock (worry meter, really) went off at 3:48 this morning. What do you do in the dark at 3:48 a.m.?

You try to sleep until it becomes very clear that there's no going back to sleep. This occurred at 4:19 a.m.

Then you get up. And take care of a few loose ends. Throw in a load of laundry. Let the dog out. When all that's done, you put your workout clothes on, find a headband, lace up your shoes ...

And hit the treadmill with the early morning news featuring Pam Jahnke, the fabulous farm babe.

Oh, you also run one additional mile and throw a walking one in, too.

After all, you have time.
