I’m definitely back on the coffee full time now. Early class everyday combined with some stress and not-so-early bedtimes have put me into a fairly consistent slept debt. I got some solid nine hour nights this weekend, though, and I’m feeling a lot better. Makes sense.
I got hit by a girl on a bike while walking to class today. I was walking on the very rightmost edge of the sidewalk, allowing for the coolz fixie kids to roll through. Despite the ample room to the left of me, she clipped my arm as she sped by with her handlebars. She sweaved violently and went into the grass, but didn’t crash (amazingly). She said something like, “I’m sorry my bad.” Whatever. Weird. No damage to anyone.
Fischer put up my training plan. I’ve been feeling lost without it. I didn’t realize how dependent I am on that little box labeled Scheduled Workout:
I’ve been without the PowerTap for a couple weeks. It should be back next Tuesday. I wonder if the (my) numbers have changed…
Time for organic chemistry. Mmmm… enantiomers.
this may be interesting to you and your caffeine addiction.

Caffeine tolerance does build up pretty quick following the longer-larger rule: the longer you use a drug the larger the dose needed to obtain the same effect.
Would you need to use a larger amount to achieve the same effects or in order to perceive the same effects? Like with alcohol, when you build up your tolerance, you need to drink more in order to feel drunk. But wouldn’t that initial amount of alcohol still have the same phsiological affect on your body i.e. liver, bloodstream. So even if you didn’t feel like you were getting a caffeine buzz, wouldn’t it still have the same affect on your bloodstream and so on?
Just wondering.
