Feeling Crabby
Today has just been one of those days that is not a "good" day. There has not been anything to make it particularly bad, but I just have not been in the best of moods. It really does not bother me that I do not have someone for Valentine's Day, today would have been a crabby day no matter what.
I got going nice and early this morning. It really is amazing how I don't even think about anything before heading out the door on my morning run. One thing that I have noticed is that because I'm thinking so much about where I am stepping and so concerned that I can not see anything, it feels like a much longer run than it actually is. This morning's run was four miles in 31 minutes, but it felt like a forty minute run. The ankle was acting OK for me this morning. I was very happy that the rain hadn't moved in yet.
Work was terrible as always. That was probably the biggest influence in my bad mood today. I really must find a new job because this one just makes me so unhappy all the time. The only bright spot in the day at work was that our supervisor gave us a Valentine's present and let us leave 45 minutes early. Our students can not handle a full day of school and leave at 1:00 but the staff needs to stay until 3:00. Let me tell ya, it is awfully boring. There is not nearly enough paperwork to do to fill up two hours every afternoon.
The final straw in influencing my crabbiness had to be the weather. Around 7:45 this morning, it starte to sleet. The rest of the day was just grey and rainy. On top of the wetness, the winds picked up quite a bit as the day went on. Not conditions that I had any desire to run in.
Only a few of us showed up for the workout tonight. As we did the warm-up, we made the decision that with the conditions we would not really get any benefit out of the track workout. We did our river loop with some pick-ups in it. Tonight was one of those nights where all I can say is that I made it through. I felt tired and slow. One of the hardest things for me was that I did not know how long each pick-up was going to be. I was getting a "hot spot" on the ball of my right foot under the big toe which was making running a little uncomfortable towards the end of the run. We ended up with just over 9 miles, giving me 13 for the day.
I hope that tomorrow I am back to being positive. Sorry to be so negative tonight, but it is just one of those days. Hope that everyone had a good Valentine's Day!
