The females have eggs that must have mammalian hemoplasm to get them ready for hatching. Breed and release dragon flies to eat them especially at the wiggler stage.
We athlete types just love to give each other advice that we don’t follow ourselves. Rest that injury before it goes chronic on you, we say as we limp on our own wrecked tendons. You gotta sleep, recovery is the most important part of training, we text at midnight. And don’t waste the opportunity that an off-season presents, we e-mail after we send off that entry to the demanding March race a thousand miles south.
I myself have the unfortunate chance to take a few weeks off and get some well-needed rest since I just had to scratch the upcoming Swim the Suck in Tennessee. I’m not injured, but life took a few weird turns this year and I’ve already blown two perfectly doable cold-water swims because of serious sleep deprivation (when I stay up all night or two, the thermostat is the first thing to go). And while the water should be warmer down there, it’s only been looking surer and surer that the time and sleep thing wouldn’t be going away, and even if swimming 10 miles on no sleep sounds marginally doable, driving 10 hours each way is unquestionably dumb. So, very sadly (be honest, you’d want the chance to legitimately wear a shirt that says Swim the Suck, too), I pulled the plug.
And immediately soothed my soul not by skipping a workout and going to bed on time for once, but by studying the Michigan Masters schedule looking for meets to target and goals to set now that the focus wasn’t going to be distance for a while. My friends could scold me, but they won’t. It’s not the hypocrisy itself that stops us; it’s just hard to meet up and razz each other when everybody’s still out putting on big miles squandering their off-seasons.
I’ll see a few of them at the lake tomorrow. The water is starting to get colder, so I hope I get to bed on time.

Not a bad thing to dial it back a bit once in awhile though.

He has to go back now. This is when his people spawn.

Day off vs use of “Off” when you need to differentiate from being too similar in the same sentence.
