Day 18, 347 To Go

January 18, 2013


Tomorrow is a big day.  Not that today was unimportant, but tomorrow...Honey is coming back!  Yeah!

Today (actually yesterday since I am writing this late, but for the sake of continuity, I will pretend that today is yesterday.  Got it?) was Friday which meant it was my last day of work before the weekend.  Often at my job, at 4:59:59, I get asked to do something really complex that will take me like 100 hours to complete and it absolutely, positively NEEDS to be done right away!!  Then, I do it...and I send the results to the person who was begging and pleading for me to work well into the night to finish their report and guess what?  Yeah, they are no longer online working.  What the fuck!!  Seriously!

So now, I log off at like 4:58 so they can't ask me anymore.  I actually still work if I need to (and I usually do) but I am not accessible by our instant messaging system so they assume I am logged off for the day and they are out of luck.  But since they really didn't need it until, oh, probably next Friday, they'll live!

What does all this have to do with running?  Nothing, really, except that if I have to work late, I have to run late, and I'm not the biggest fan of running in the dark.  Not to mention it was a bit chilly here and I just missed the rain.  With my job, though, it happens often.  In a few months it will get dark much later and I can enjoy running in the daylight again (along with 90 degree heat!)

I felt a little stiff on my run today.  I have to look back, but I think every time I run a bit harder, the next day I am a bit slower.  Makes sense.  My body needs to recover.  I also think the longer I work on that day, the longer I am sitting on my ever expanding butt, and it contributes to being stiff.  My Achilles hurt too.

OMG...can I stop bitching already?

Yes, I can.

Thanks.

I'm talking to myself.

You're a weirdo.

Screw you.
