Must've Jinxed Myself
After all the bitching and complaining that I have done about waking up before my alarm clock, I slept through it this morning! I woke up and looked at the clock and thought, "Damn it! I woke up early AGAIN!!". After laying there for a few minutes, it registered that I had hit snooze in my sleep without realizing it and slept through the alarm. It was actually about 5 minutes later than wake up time!!! It must have been my body telling me that it needed some more rest than it was getting.
As promised, there will be no complaining about work. It was a tough day. That is all I will say. I had to leave early so that I could pick my mom up from her treatment. She only has one more to go, so the finish line is definitely in sight. One of her liver tests had been abnormal, but that was a reaction to the drug in the clinical trial that they took her off. She is handling this set of treatment much better than the first set. She says that she has been experiencing some bone pain and joint soreness, but it is much better to deal with than the nausea from the first round. Her doctor said that her red blood cell count was on the low side, so she is getting a RBC booster tomorrow as well as the white blood cell count booster. She didn't think that she had been exceptionally tired the past two weeks, but she also knew that she had not been eating as much red meat which seemed to help keep the RBC up. I did pick up some iron pills for her this afternoon when I was out doing some errands.
Running this afternoon was pretty uneventful. The weather was not really sure what it wanted to do. It was spitting some and then would be sunny. I'm pretty sure that I heard some bolts of thunder as I was heading home, but the storm never materialized. The only eventful part of the run was that I *really* had to use the bathroom and could not find a secluded area to use. My legs felt much fresher than they have on a Wednesday is several weeks. I did seven easy miles and six striders.
There was no time to go to the gym since I had to do some errands. It won't help me or hurt me any this week. It could probably hurt more than anything since it will make me a little more tired. I get to "sleep in" on Friday since we have an inservice day, so we don't have to report until a normal working person hour, 8:00. The extra sleep will be greatly beneficial!

Question: do you warm down after you do your strides?
