Not Too Shabby
Well, this has been a week for the record books. Not runningwise, but workingwise. I added up all of the hours that I've worked in the last 10 days: 141.25 hours. If you do the oh-so-complex math, you will realize that this is an average of slightly more than 14 hours a day, for 10 days straight. Such is the life of emergency services at Yellowstone in the summer!
If I recall, there are only 24 hours in the day, which has left little to no other time for anything else. Resultingly, I didn't make it to my 60 miles for the week (Part of the blame might also be placed on the calf/achilles incident, which caused me to proceed through the second half of the week with caution.). Instead, I made it to 50 miles. I'm moderately impressed that I ran 50 miles during a week when I was working 14+ hours a day.
I'm officially turning my pager off for 4 days, not going into work unless the world itself cracks in half, being social, sleeping in, and getting out there in that beautiful park to play. And perhaps I'll consider having a meaningful thought to post to this blog space, which has been reduced to its bare minimum in the last 10 days.

I'm very impressed with your 50 miles on 14+ hours a day of working. That only leaves you with enough time to run and sleep when you're not working. I would have found some excuse to do something else at least one of those days. Enjoy your four work-free days. You deserve it!

Wow - you sure do deserve your 4 days off! After reading your post I vow not to complain of my 5 days/week of 8-9 hours... :) That would be a walk in the park for you!
