WAH
WAH = Work At Home. Not a bad way to start the work week. Granted this did not involve sleeping in, it just involved not wearing shoes. Hubb took his nephews to an amusement park for the day and will bring them back here to spend a few days with their Uncle and Aunt. Well their Uncle, Auntie Beth works a lot.
Monday was productive, top secret work project seems to be going smoothly, finally, despite the consultants ever present attempts to de-rail us! I am working on a filing also going well. The second time I've had to do this for an attorney and while she is a nervous nelly about the whole thing it is going far better than I could have imagined considering we are in prime vacation time at place of employment.
I didn't run. I didn't go to yoga. I rolled my foot on ice and a tennis ball and stretched. I am seriously worried about this PF as well as the Susan G Komen 60 mile walk this Fri - Sun. I doubt I am anywhere seriously close to a sidelining injury however I just really don't like to be in pain and constant fear of pain. So there you have it. Whimp? Maybe... Better safe than sorry is what I am going for. I can do the miles, I know this, physically and mentally. The pain on Saturday was sharp and piercing, and scary.
I worked, did laundry, messed around with the dogs, and mowed the lawn. So much for a stellar training plan, you know what, I'm OK with this and I don't feel like I am making excuses. Everything is making me cry so I'm ultra sensitive to pain at the moment.
Yeah, does sound like I am trying to justify.
I took myself out for a little drive to see this, beautiful, hopeful, and amazing.

Sunny Beth

Grouchy Sunday
When I don't run I'm grouchy. When my left foot hurts I'm grouchy. When I have a pile of things to do and looming deadlines I'm grouchy. So I'm grouchy this Sunday. However I am productive mostly because if Hubb and I cross paths I'll be grouchy at him when he doesn't deserve it.
A little Paul Whiteman and Orchestra playing in the background and several of my piling up to dos are done. What is it about Jazz or even music in general that soothes the savage beast? Savage beast meaning me in this instance. It was a lovely few hours with Paul and sorting through my piles of stuff. I swear my husband and I are junior hoarders.
Speaking of music, again with the iPod shuffle and the earphones (different pair) crapping out on me. Now that they are dry they work just fine. I seriously have to figure this one out. Do I bite the bullet and get a new iPod shuffle where the volume control is on the unit? Try several more pair of sweat proof ear buds? Or what? Or do I just learn to run sans music? Probably not a decision to make while I am grouchy, eh?
I need to remember why I took a rest day today. I want to run Marine Corps, I don't want to make my left foot's PF any worse. I will get to run tomorrow and it will be awesome! I am NOT behind on the minimum number of miles I needed to do for this week!
