My big project at work for the last 6 weeks (Career Day for our high school students) went off without a major hitch today. I had planned to duck out at 12:30 after all our guest left to cool my jets and then re-fire them for a 7 mile tempo run. I left work at 3:15! Our athletic director was out all day and I had to cover her afternoon classes! I had been racing around since 4:30 this morning doing last minute preparations for the day and then wasn't able to start running until 3:30 this afternoon! I had already put in an 11 hour day. NOT A GOOD TIME FOR ME TO START RUNNING TODAY! I was tired before I started. I wimped out at 5.25 miles and was disappointed in myself, but in the same breath, I really did more than I felt like doing and more than I thought I would do when I first started running and felt awful! I really need to run distances like this in the morning when I am fresh! I love mornings!

    That is so frustrating when your day doesn't go as planned & it affects your plans for running. i know that feeling exactly. It's great to read that the career day went off w/o a hitch it would have been much worse if it hadn't. I think you were such a trooper to get 5.25 in after a 11 hr. movin day! Hang in there you are working so hard & showing great progress.

    How funny, Carrie and I went to Chick-Fil-A after church tonight. Which, BTW, I was late to church. I did not leave work as early as planned and then the 5 was a parking lot which left me less time than needed for my bike interval session. I missed the singing and prayer requests and the first 5 minutes of the lesson but rather enjoyed the rest. Lively bunch tonight.

    Great run regardless. Sorry you cannot have Chick-Fil-A with me as often. You can send gift cards and I will think of you while eating!
