I went for another run last night. Same as Tuesday — same route, same time, same pace, same pain. Grr. I made a conscious effort to start off at a slower pace (which means that I finished at a faster pace) to see if that helped “ease” my legs into it. They still hurt a lot, but may have hurt less than the night before. I’m not sure. It may have just felt that was because I wasn’t in quite as foul a mood as I had been on Tuesday. Either way, I was forced to walk only twice instead of five times. So that’s good. 3 miles, 35:03, average heart rate of 173.
La la la. My DSL connection is out — first time I’ve had a problem with it in 3.5 years — and so I’m at home waiting for the DSL fairy to come fix it. Anytime between 8 and noon. I hate waiting for service people. They better come today.
I could only get one weak and intermittant non-secured wireless signal in my living room, so last night I pulled the ultimate act of laziness — I lugged the laptop into my bedroom, propped myself up against a pillow and turned it on to see if the unsecured signal would be any stronger in there. It is. I sat in bed and checked my email. And now I sit on the bed looking out the window at the sunshine and checking email again. This is nice. Someday maybe I can work from home.
We saw Cari’s friend Will on Friday night for dinner in Washington. He works from home. I was jealous.
I didn’t realize how much I relied on my internet connection until it went out. Feels like I’m missing an arm, or a leg, or something else vital. I’m sure I lived a perfectly fine life before internet, right? I just don’t understand why it went out. They said there are problems on my line, but I haven’t added anything new or changed anything. Perhaps there are little bugs that ate through my internet. Stupid bugs.

Hope your running gets less painful son. Would hate for you to continue to have a miserable time out there, when the weather is so awesome.
I hate internet problems too…BLAH!!!
