I don’t know what is up with my post title, but in fear of using the same blog entry title every week (or day), I decided to put something random in.
My run yesterday was nice and challenging. During the work week and through this last leg of training, I have really found a lot of my endurance to build back-up. So I have been attempting to double my run in hopes that I will get back-up to 6 miles during the work week, so I’ve been going at it slowly. There are certain parts of my run that were once physically challenging that are now just mentally challenging but in all, I am pleased with my progress. I so badly want to run it, and feel like I can get in all six miles this week, but I have to taper, taper, taper. Ahh, c’est la vie.
Yesterday, my dad stopped in to visit me at work. He’s got this week off (our birthday is tomorrow, whoo hoo) and mom took tomorrow off to visit me at work and take us out to birthday lunch. I guess he couldn’t wait until Thursday to see his daughter in management action. So I took him around to meet everyone, and it went well, he saw my office and was impressed. It was cute
Sometimes, I think all I ever wanted was my parents to be proud of me. I hope that they are.
Too bad my dad doesn’t see when the lawyer publically humiliates himself using me as that object. Let’s just say that happened last night. I need to end this rant, though.
I did get this sweet e-mail, mid-day:

Oh yes, tomorrow is packet pick-up day! What a great birthday gift. Jared thinks he is getting the car to come home for the plumber. Pssh.
I talked to my old boss yesterday, who has been getting back into jogging, and said he may run the Run Around the Square next year with me, Jared, and another one of my co-workers. How perfect. During times of unprofessionalism, I really miss working at the County. Or at least, I miss working with a group of professionals that know the distinctions between appropriate and inappropriate…
No fun pictures to break-up the sea of words. I had a smoothie post-run, a waffle with PB, jalapeno poppers, a half of an Arby’s turkey sandwhich, and some curly fries. It was a late night, and I have been craving jalapeno poppers for awhile now. They help satisfy that craving. And I ate them and moved on. Simple as that. Nutritionally void? Yes. Delicious? They were okay, but now I can stop craving them. Simple as that!
