A Wrench
Just when all systems are a go, here comes a wrench.
I can imagine the inner workings of my mental and physical self as innumerate cog wheels turning slowly but surely, connected to some whirling belts, connected to something that makes this whole body tick. The machine itself occasionally needs a little maintenence. Once in a while, you have to get in there and clean things up, change out a belt or two, or tighten a bolt. However, in general, it functions prettly smoothly. Especially as of late, the whole machine has been working efficiently and in high gear.
I liken the weirdness that has become this day to a wrench thrown into the system, briefly shutting it down. I managed to pull the wrench out and get the cog wheels turning again, but I'm still holding this sucker and I have to figure out what to do with it. My vagueness is indeed intentional, but it's my blog and I can write what I want. :)
Today was not the day for a track workout. Instead, today was a day for an easy run requiring no concentration such that I could busy my mind thinking about other things. So, I'm digging myself a hole of hard workouts, stacking them in the second half of the week. Oh well.
I ran 8 miles easy today, floating around aimlessly.
As a side note, for the last 24 hours, we were told not to drink the water coming out of the faucets in our homes or at work. Something happened to the water supply, so we were told to boil or filter our water, or to drink bottled water only. It felt very developing country-esque. The water looked a little brown, even. Ew! They say it's okay today, but we were all instructed to run faucets in our house for an hour first. Weird, huh?

I wouldn't worry too much about trying to make up missed workouts. Maybe add in one, but then just carry on?
Don't drink that water, either!! It sounds soooooooooooooo nasty :(
