Today was horrible at work, filled with pure frustration that I must rely on others to do their jobs and sadly they just fail often. Also, I am a worrier and knowing that Kristoffer is at home with the flu has me nearly sick with concern.

So I had lots to think about as I ran.

3.0 miles in 34:20 @ 11:26/mi burning 354 calories.

I walked before and after each 1 mi segment just to let myself cool off. The temperature was in the mid-80s, a range I have not experienced while running for quite some time.

Good strong run.

Yesterday's run really took the wind out of my legs. So much so that my quads were sore all day causing me to groan any time I stood or sat. Thus I kept my run a bit shorter today

Total was 2.0 mi in 23:44 at 11:52/mi avg burning 215 calories.

The splits were
0.75mi in 8:52
0.75mi in 9:00
0.50mi in 6:52

Here's hoping the Alleve keeps any swelling down and the muscles won't be quite so sore tomorrow.

Another frustrating day at work. It's really beginning to look like a rough road is ahead for the project I am working to finish. Yuck. I tried to run out my frustrations today but the quads are still tender so it was a short run.

2.13 mi in 25:02 @ 11:45/mi avg burning 248 calories.

Today's splits ---
1.00 mi in 11:27
1.00 mi in 12:13
0.13 mi in 1:21 (10:21 pace to kick to the finish)

Hopefully I can have a relaxing dinner and forget about my job.
