One of those days
I ended up having a really hard time getting to sleep last night and was up until about 2:30 am--very odd for me indeed and I didn't feel so great when I woke up, tired and out of sorts. I attempted a run knowing that I could always bail out and come back to bike and for the first time in almost as long as I can remember, I turned around after 15 minutes. I just wasn't enjoying myself and my knee was hurting--I finished on the bike. Not a great effort today, but I'm trying to give myself a break.
We had our first of two holiday events at work today, which helped add levity to a very stressful day. We had our gift exchange--I ended up with a Starbucks mug and chocolate-covered coffee beans--and tomorrow evening is our holiday party. If I finish up all my work (well, come to a good stopping point) by Friday, I will have the next two weeks off. We'll see how things go!
I got to the gym a little late because of our gift exchange and it was pretty empty. I rode the spin bike intending to watch "TMZ" but for some reason that channel wasn't working on any of the TVs! I settled for a preview show for the new spinoff of "The Hills" followed by lifting and the whole thing thankfully felt much better than this morning's workout attempt!
