Sometimes

Sometimes a workday saps your soul. That happened on Thursday when I planned to run late in the afternoon, but it was a day full of meetings. Including a last-minute one that should have been an email or instant message, but instead ended up taking 45 minutes. By the time the day ended I just wanted to relax with a cold beverage and cigar. I know, I should've gone for a run to clear my head and rejuvenate my energy level. Oh, well, there'll be days like that. Today I was up early, way too early for a Saturday. I had to wait for daylight before heading out for a 5-miler. What a great morning for a run. 62 degrees and sunny meant I wasn't the only one who had that thought, as there were plenty of runners and walkers out. What is it with people walking on the wrong side of the path? I ran into two, one of whom moved to the correct side and another who didn't. Tell me you're an a-hole without telling me. That guy is probably a horrible driver, too. Okay, enough snark. It didn't ruin what ended up being a good run. I tried to keep the pace quicker than I've been running and it worked. Hopefully next week will be better from the work standpoint and not interfere with my running schedule.
