Emotionally drained today. Sometimes I just can't handle stress very well. When I can't handle it I can tell my whole family suffers, especially Tom. So therefore, he is also emotionally drained today too. Sorry Tom. He is out doing some tempo work, I went out for an easy 5 or 6. I thought I was meeting up with Kellie but when I ran into John A, (one of the three times we ran into each other today), he mentioned that they were on vacation. I had forgotten that she would be gone this week. (By the way, speaking of John A, you should check out his Spudman Race Report for last Saturday! He did awesome! Congrats John!)
When I was about a block away from home I was going to have to turn and add a bit to make it 6 miles when I saw a garbage can tipped over that belongs to an older couple friend of mine so I decided to stop and do a good deed by picking it up for them. As I picked it up a piece of broken PVC pipe hit into my ankle. Dang! It doesn't look bad, I thought I would look and see a gash, but it's just a little scrape on the outside. But it sure hurts on the inside and I hobbled the rest of the way home and decided that getting to 6 miles wasn't going to happen today. I hate starting Monday out on "empty"! I guess I need to get out and think of others more today to help fill my bucket. |
