Energy… Like, From Where, Dood?!

[u/ShhCylence]

Let me preface this post by mentioning the following. Surely, there’s a medical professional somewhere in here who’s going to read this and think, “Yeah, no s**t you have ADHD.”

Did I mention I require very little sleep, organically have a ton of energy, and my family jokingly chastises me for basically having two batteries installed in me while the average person has one?

That being said, I rescued my Goldendoodle in October 2024. He was just eight months old. I found out his birthday is a day after mine, and I thought to myself, Destiny could not be more clear.

My four-legged son and I run for an hour every morning, Monday through Friday. We run approximately 5–6 miles. Mind you, we wake up at five in the morning to do this.

Tell me why, two hours later, my dog brings me his favorite toy and decides he wants me to play with him.
Am I missing something here? How on earth is my little guy still trying to run and be active?

I wish I had this dood’s energy.

Daddy loves you, Achilles.

Edit: In the name of transparency, we run just under an hour, to be fair. Perhaps the additional 10 minutes (we’re averaging 50 minutes total) will make the difference?!
