need NoDoze? Try a treadmill

I have always been a fan of surreptitious slumber. You know -- sleep on the sly, shuteye in the shadows during lunchtime 'recess.' I don't always do that, just when my day is dragging and I didn't get enough sleep the night before for whatever reason.
There's something illicit and sweet about checking my eyes for pinholes for a few minutes in some parking space somewhere in the shade where I can doze and nobody will see my mouth fall open.
Although I usually wake up refreshed -- I may never do that again.
That's because today, I discovered something much more energizing! The lunchtime sweatfest!
I dragged into Gold's Gym today on Andrews feeling a little sluggish and a lot committed to getting beach-ready by the time I leave for Greece (and other destinations) at the beginning of July. I wasn't feeling it, but resolve got me on the elliptical and boredom cranked up some old-school punk on my headset.
Forty five minutes later, I was bright-eyed, energized, and sad that I didn't have more time to, say, kickbox a heavy bag or even go clubbing.
After a quick shower and a mad dash to work, I realized how much more awake I felt than I had after even the longest nap.
And that left me wide awake enough to notice just how many EZRider buses there are -- and to wonder if Jimmy Patterson was on one of them. Or maybe all of them. He's magical, I hear.
