Day 357, 8 To Go

December 23, 2013

I think it is safe to say that this is the worst Monday of the year.  First of all, so many people are out of the office today, so that causes me to have too much and too little work, all at the same time?  How is that possible, you ask?  Well, since most people are out of the office, I don't have anyone sending me normal day to day work or new work.  Yay!  On the other hand, when anything goes wrong, it gets sent to me because I am one of the only people left in the office!  Boooo!

You know what else makes this a horrible Monday?  Everyone is running around (in my house) happy and cheerful and signing Christmas songs and relaxing and getting excited, all while I sit, alone, in my office, working.  No one else works.  Just me.  Screw your holiday cheer!  DAMNNN YOUUUUUU!!!!

Ok, now that I got that out of my system, I can relax and count the seconds as they tick away until 5pm.  I have to work tomorrow too, and that might be worse, but one day at a time, right!

Here are my numbers:

Time: 30:00

Distance: 3.01 miles

Pace: 9:57/m

Max Pace: 7:18/m

Calories: 257

Avg HR: 123

Max HR: 161

I felt like crap today.  I think half of it is in my head.  The problem is that it is hard to separate what I am actually feeling from what I think I am feeling.  That's why the placebo effect works so well.  I have the opposite of that, whatever that is.  I think it is hypochondria.  That's probably it.

I am not only burnt out from running this year, I am burnt out from working and from writing this blog, so, I am going to cut things short today.  The excitement is palpable in my house, and I think I want to try to latch onto that a bit before the day is through.  Later!

Run for Life!!
