Day 15, 350 To Go

January 15, 2013

I hate my job.  Ok, that is a bit harsh.  I despise my job.  Hmmm, that's worse.  Let me try again (think positive now).  I abhor my job.

Oh f*ck it.  Seriously, I do not enjoy my work, but in this economy I have security, I'm good at what I do, and I have a lot of flexibility.  I work at home and I get to see my kids all day (sometimes that is a positive) and I have time to take care of my family when they need me.  So, I'm not going anywhere.  That being said, I had to work late again tonight and I thought I might never get out for my run, but I stole away for my 15 minutes, came back and ate dinner, and got some more work in after that.  See...flexibility.

Now, if I had my druthers, what would do I want to do when I grow up (oh, wait, I think I confirmed in an earlier blog that I am not accepting the fact that I am an adult)?  I still am not 100% sure what I want to do, but I know I want to work for myself.  I think I would like to work in the fitness industry, or, I'd like to write.  See how perfect this blog is?  I'm training for both right now!  Maybe I am preparing for my future right now?  The big question is, can I support my family on blogs and running?

Uh, no.

So much for following your dreams.  I am an idealist, I'm just not a stupid one.  Maybe once the kids move out, I'll follow my dreams (albeit, with a walker, false teeth and a full adult diaper).

For now, I will have to be happy with my two hobbies.  And I kind of am.  I'm not sure if I am enjoying writing the blog or running more?  It's a toss up.  Today, I ran without music and I just listened to the sounds of nature.  It was dark and cool and the crickets were, uh, cricketing (?) and it was a nice, peaceful run.

Here are my numbers for today:

Time: 15:00
Distance: 1.62 miles
Pace: 9:16/m
Max Pace: 7:55/m
Calories: 210
Avg HR: 131
Max HR: 151

So, tomorrow, will Honey be joining me?  Stay tuned, because maybe she will.  If not, it is only a couple of days until she does.  Until then, my friends...

Run for life!
