Why am I so tired all of the time!?! It doesn't matter that I slept for 12 hours last night, I still didn't want to get out of bed. When it was time to run, I had drag myself outside, and I felt like I was falling asleep while running! Good thing today was an easy run...

But today's not the first time I've been exhausted beyond reason. It happens all the time, and it gets annoying. My junior year was particularily bad; I was doing really well with my running, and then one day I came home and slept for 18 hours, only to wake up still exhausted! The next day at school, I was falling asleep in class, and I was so tired before practice that I couldn't even stand. I went home that night and slept another 12 hours. I missed two days of school and a meet because of my lack of energy!

I know teenagers are supposed to be lazy and sleep a lot, but whenever I tell my friends I sleep until 1 in the afternoon, their mouths always drop in amazment. And it's not like I'm a night person... I go to bed pretty early, all things considered. I just LIKE sleeping.
