Nothing Special Day
For the past few weeks my body has gotten into the habit of waking up anywhere from one to ten minutes before the alarm clock is set to go off. Normally this would not be much of a problem since it means that my body should be getting enough sleep. My philosophy is a little bit different though. I think that I have been waking up slightly before the annoying beep is going to start because my ears just do not want to hear the beeping. There are not many other explanations for waking up so early (other than having to make the bathroom trip, which may be some of the issue). This is not particularly relevant, just something that I have been noticing over the past few weeks.
Onto running...today's weather seemed like it would be perfect for running, while I was inside. It was sunny, not too hot or cold. From inside school it looked like it would be perfect. Once I stepped outside, I knew that it was not a perfect running day. The wind was blowing like crazy. I woke up from my nap and my stomach was feeling funny and I still felt tired. I got dressed in my running clothes and opted not to wear a watch. Once I got moving, my stomach did not feel that bad and my legs felt pretty fresh. Since I am cutting back, I only did seven miles today. When it is windy, it takes so much more effort to run at the same intensity. About two-thirds of this afternoon's run was right into the wind. By the last half mile I felt whipped. I got home and changed into my flats and did my six striders. By this point, I just was not feeling like running anymore. One indication that it was windy was that the garbage tubs were knocked over. These tubs are nearly as big as I am!
I went to the gym and saw S who was supposed to race with us this weekend, but he just found out that he has a stress fracture in his second toe. He was riding the bike wearing his boot. He says that he is still planning on coming up to see the finish and then going out to brunch. I rode the bike for forty minutes and then did some lifting. The weight area was crowded again today.
My dad is coming home early tonight to help me with my resume and cover letter. We really need me to get out of my job. I've said it before, but some days I really wonder why I bother. OK, I've just made a rule for myself...no more bitching about my job. One day I'll let everyone know just how bad this position is, but not until I have something new!
