Personal:

I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

AM- 6. As tired as I am right now, I'm really debating the whole run vs. sleep benefit. Sleep might win tomorrow.

Thinking of yesterday's terrible workout, I think part of the problem was due to the stress of the day and the layoffs. A lot of my coworkers said this morning that they got home last night and felt like a truck had run over them. Just a bad, stressful day. So hopefully that was the problem.

Agreed. It will probably take a few days. It continues to amaze me no matter how many examples I see and experience the total impact that stress can have on your physical being. Looking at the changes in your body alone it is amazing what chemical and biological changes take place. In fact just two parents arguing in front of a child can change the child’s brain chemistry so the concern of losing your job and the conflict of the joy that you didn't with the guilt that your friends did has to wreck havic on your mind and body.

I could definitely understand a different chemical balance in the body with what stress you've had to endure.

Your talking about your career and supporting your family. I'm glad your job's okay. Good luck on the rest of the week.
