work is better today. i got some sleep, and got together with rich this morning to mentally lay out what i need to do. my goal is to have the file finished by the end of the day, so rich can q&a it.
i ran a 5k last night, which was good. on the 22nd i’m signed up for the rodeo run, which is a 10k race. i’ve never run a 10k before. i was going to be training for it, but with work as busy as it has become, i haven’t really run in almost two weeks, except for saturday and last night. i’ll get back to normal now, but the race is less than two weeks away. i know i can make it 6.2 miles, there’s never really been a question of that…but i just don’t think i’ll be able to do it quite as fast as i’d hoped to be able to once i worked up to it. 🙁 so i’ll just do it as fast as i can. i was originally aiming for 1:01:00, but i’ve revised the goal to anything under 1:10:00. i know that’s achievable.
i read an article today about the three men aboard the space station right now. “Bowersox said NASA has been ‘real good’ about giving them some time off to grieve. Treadmill workouts have helped, he added. ‘One of the things we noticed that really helps is exercise,’ Bowersox said. ‘It’s incredible how it seems to sort of even out your nervous system and just put you in a better mood no matter what’s going on around you on board.'” some things are universal, i guess. my run last night helped me sort out a lot of things too.
time for an early lunch, then back to work.
