The Lunar Rendezvous Run starts/started at 7:30 and I woke up at 7:29. My alarm was set and on and I just didn’t wake up. I live 5 minutes away; I could have woken up as late as 7:15 and still made it to the start line in time. But I didn’t. I suppose I could be going there right now, and starting 15 minutes behind everyone, but I’m so mad at myself at the moment that I just can’t do it.
I’m so upset about missing the race that I feel a little sick to my stomach. This race sort of feels like my race. The one I always run. The anniversary of my move to Houston. It’s a significant event in my head, which I guess is why I’m so upset that I f*$!ing overslept.
This is the second time in a week I’ve slept through my alarm. It’s happening more and more frequently. I’m not an oversleeping type of person; something is wrong. I have been far too busy, for what seems like years, and in fact is probably this entire year so far, since Christmas. Something has to give. I have to cut something out of my schedule. The question is: what?
Sorry Jon and Jessica — I was so looking forward to meeting you! We will have to meet at another race, one that I can get my ass out of bed for.
*cry* I’m so upset. 
So sorry to hear you missed the race. I find that I sleep in a lot when I have too much in my mind too.
