Dull Day
Today was such a dull day. Work was dull. Running was dull. In all, there really has not been anything exciting for me all day.
I work with two other counselors in our small school. These two women are the most miserable people I have ever delt with. I dread going to work everyday because I have interact with them. They are both always right and have very negative attitudes. Just another reason that I need to find another job, soon!
My run today was not much better. I was probably paying for feeling good yesterday. Since Thursdays are a workout day, Wednesday is supposed to be an easy day. Today felt awful. I managed my way through 7 miles. It was not one of the best feeling runs I have ever done. My stomach was rebelling. I ate lunch at 11:30 and didn't make it out the door to run until 4:15. Usually I'm OK with this amount of time in between, but today I might have wanted to go longer because my stomach was doing the things it does to me when I eat too close to running. I did manage to run my 7 miles in 49:00. It's funny how one day 6:30s feels effortless and they next day 7 minute pace feels so hard. Some days I think that I'm in good shape and might be able to run some pretty good times this fall. Then other days, like today I wonder how I have run some of the races that I have. Maybe my body is playing tricks on me.
On a positive note, tomorrow is my last day of work for the week. I have a nice, long, four day weekend this week. I plan to sleep in on Friday and Sunday. Monday morning we are doing our workout in the morning since most people do not have to work.
