Initially Disgusted.

Today's run was completely disgusting.  My legs are still really dead.  I mean, it's been since Tuesday since I last ran.  I tried to run an "easy" three miles during lunch today and really struggled to maintain 7:00 pace.  I was pretty pissed when I got back home.  Jumped in the shower and headed back to work.  Work was a little rough this week.  Nothing really pissing me off, but just too much to do.  I was up until midnight two nights in a row working, then got called at 3:30 this morning for an hour, and now, I've just got called again.  I am so tired...  It's a wonder I feel so crappy when I try to run.  Now.

This evening was a good evening.  Kourtney had her snowball dance tonight.  She and her three girlfriends were gorgeous.  We got a lot of good pictures of them.  So, tonight, Austin went to grandma's while Mariah and I did some more Christmas shopping.  We finally found the iceCoaster for Austin, and picked up Hairspray for Kourtney.  I found something for myself as well.  I can't have it until Christmas though.  AC/DC's Plugged In DVD Set and Incubus's new DVD Look Alive (or something like that).  Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii must've gotten pushed back again because I haven't seen it anywhere.  Then it was Baskin Robbins on the way to Mariah's mom's to get Austin. 

It's funny, I played "The Final Countdown" by Europe tonight and Austin was freaking out.  It's been used in the commercials for the "Mario and Sonic at the Olympics" for the Wii over the past couple of weeks.

So tomorrow it's some speedwork with Jacki at Rose-Hulman.  Hope my legs feel better tomorrow.  I downloaded my applications for the "12 Ks of Christmas" in Carmel, December 15th and "The Hangover Classic" 10 Miler in Louisville New Year's Day.  I asked my boss if we were going to have to work on December 31st, or January 1st (for database maintenance) and he said he didn't know which day yet, but it didn't really matter.  So, I think I'll be able to leave town.  It'll be nice to run the Louisville race again, as it's been 11 years since the last time I ran that one.  So today's run left me feeling disgusted at first, but we'll see how tomorrow goes.

OK, I've resolved my problem at work.  I'm heading to bed.  Nahnoo Nahnoo
