Single: 11:30am easy run. I managed 7-hrs of sleep last night. Got into work by 6:15am, did a bunch around lab and then had meetings from 8-11… The first meeting set things in order for the next few months. At least for now two projects are on hold. However, the remaining 4 projects MUST be done soon. I’m feeling better about the whole situation but it is still affecting me some. Finally got out the door at 11:30 to be met by a wonderful haze that almost blocked the valley view much less the mountains, yuck! To add to the “yuckiness” of the run the deer from Monday was still there. However, I did see a deer foraging despite the late day run (right across from the salt stock pile). The other thing was I saw was the most other runners out on a weekday since I’ve been running City Creek. It must have had to do with the late start. Mi: 12-R1 Avg: 7:43 HR: 139

Nice run as always. Stress can definitely affect the nervous system so I hope you can relax and take things easy. Someone clean up that deer slaughter!

Kory, Thanks again for the comments. I’m adapting to the work situation and it hasn’t “really” affected my running. In fact my running has helped me feel better about the whole thing. I’m glad to hear that you are on the mend and that things look like they are shaping up for next week. I can’t believe that it is only a week away now! I look forward to running with you and breaking that course record as a team!
