Needless to say – after the title – I haven’t slept good. At least yesterday I didn’t sleep well. I tossed and turned until about 230 pm. Got out of bed and ate some cereal.<\/p>\n
The showers and thunderstorms ended sometime before I woke up. After eating “breakfast” I suited up for a run before round two of the rain moved in. I took off around 10 til 4 pm. I ran for about an hour which equated to about 6 miles. I felt great! It was like running before the St. Jude half. I mean, I had no pain or issues.<\/p>\n
After my intervals, my legs are still a little sore. I took Wednesday off but even today my quads are little sore. My worst fear of continued left leg\/knee pain has been squashed. I feel very little if any pain – which is really great. I hope I remain healthy.<\/p>\n
I wonder if my restless sleep is in any way related to my coffee consumption. The last 3 days (before today) I had about 56 oz (7 measuring cups) of coffee in about an hour. I will say that I was awake for the whole shift and then some! The first 2 shifts I took an Ambien (to adjust the body clock). Yesterday…no sleep aid. So last night around 10 pm I only drank 32 oz (4 cups) of the Maxwell House French Roast. I hope the change will help me sleep. Perhaps my mind is just overworking on potential job interviews???<\/p>\n
Speaking of Maxwell House French Roast…the stuff is very close in taste to the 8 O’Clock Columbian. In other words, it’s good. Last night I mixed it much weaker than I have in the past and I actually liked it. My formula was 2 1\/2 scoops to 5 cups (again these are measuring cups folks…not a mug full). It was weaker but much more tolerable with very little creamer needed.<\/p>\n
On the cups of coffee vs mug issue… a mug varies in volume capacity. At work (where we are very precise and as time permits), I measured several mugs and their volume capacities. What I found was that a regular size mug holds about 9 oz of liquid. The smaller mugs held exactly a measuring cup full. We’re talking about to the brim…no way could you add anything more than a packet of sugar. Oh yeah…and you couldn’t stir it without spilling it. The largest mug held 12 oz. I think on average – if I were to guess – most mugs fall in the 9 to 10 oz range. I think the one I measured was actually 10 oz, but you have to leave room to stir and mix your junk. So leaving out that extra ounce will let you accomplish that.<\/p>\n
So when someone tells you they had 5 cups of coffee…you gotta wonder, does that mean 40 oz (as in measuring cups) or are they talking about 50 oz.?\u00a0 I guess it doesn’t really matter, huh? What’s another cup worth?\u00a0 If you ask me, I’d say, “Probably another 5 hours of being awake.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
