Work May Be Turning Me Into An Alcoholic
For the past month, I have felt the need to have a glass of wine with my dinner to help me unwind from stressful days at work. I have never been much of a drinker so this is strange for me. It is not that much of a problem, because I don't actually need the glass of wine; I just enjoy it. In a way it is actually good for me because it makes me eat a better dinner. Eating a bowl of cereal just does not justify drinking a glass of wine. That being said, I finished a bottle last night and thought about tonight. I didn't feel like going out to buy a bottle of wine, so I broke the tradition tonight. Also, for the record, work was not quite as bad today as it has been of late.
I got to run today!!! Yeah!!! Not much and definitely not fast, but I did run. I made it a total of 30 minutes, probably about 3.5 miles. I went up to the track and ran the warm up and then jogged on the outside with a guy who has not been able to train for three months while everyone else did their workout. When I spoke with J today we discussed taking it very easy this week and even next week. He does not want to risk any kind of injury from running tired.
On the recovery front I am making progress. I didn't need to hold onto anything to go down the steps at work today. I don't need to balance on my desk to sit down. My cold is improving, but it has been lingering for quite some time. My appetite is finally back full force and I think that I am almost rehydrated. My massage is scheduled for Saturday afternoon. The only thing left to do is go out and celebrat with some of the girls.
