This is officially the longest night in history. I stare up at the ceiling. I gave up on counting sheep and creating constellations. My sweaty running clothes stick to me as I rest on top of the cool bed sheets. Maybe I should shower again. Maybe I need more music. I suddenly remember the vitamins. My body flies from the bed. I unzip my bag and rifle through the little black case that holds all of my supplements. I don’t know how I forgot to take them today. I take them every day. Religiously. I dig through the case and scoop up the bottles, lining them up one by one on the bedside table. B Complex, lots of Vitamin D, fish oil, and a little krill oil, too. I only brought the basics. At least some of my bases are covered. I whip out my food journal next and jot down what I ate for the day. Not nearly enough kale. Definitely need to make up for that tomorrow. I close the journal, already missing my bike. I should’ve just brought it with me.
