No, I just crash even harder three hours later. I just have to accept that I need more sleep than most people, and not wear myself out. Certainly I don't want to be on a caffiene high during exams, that definitely wouldn't help me think properly! Also, interestingly, caffiene is thought to be a contributor towards fatigue disorders, as in it makes them worse.

Then take your time. If you bump into your friend, tell her we said hi.
Barmymoo:
It's ok, she's gone to Scotland! Going running this evening. I had decided this before I knew she'd gone away, so I guess that's maybe some maturity showing.
Hmm. Made the foolish decision to eat dinner before going running. Now I have to decide whether to run on a reasonably full stomach, run in the dark, or not run.
ETA: well, I went! I ran an extra two minutes at least, just because I wanted to, and although I did have a tiny twinge I didn't get a proper stitch. Did discover when I got back that my friend is not actually in Scotland yet, but she didn't see me bright red and sweaty. Another friend did though, we chatted for about ten minutes when I was on my five-minute cool down walk. So I definitely cooled down...
Redball:
Good work! I'll run after coffee and a bowl of oatmeal, but not more, and as C25K continues, I might be moved to cut out the cereal.

Day 3 week 2 this afternoon, putting the iPhone in a Zip-loc against a threat of drizzle. It was harder than the previous 5, breathing harder, and no idea why. I'm using the iPhone app to walk and run by the clock rather than distance. My distance this week from warmup to cooldown is almost exactly 2 miles, and hasn't varied by more than a few yards.
