I had great plans to do a long run yesterday, but was in charge of a new release that went out at work yesterday. I started getting calls off an on from 2:00 a.m. until around 5:00 a.m. and then had to be in the office at 8. Came home for a couple of hours in the afternoon to nap and then back at work until 10. Needless to say - no workout.

Took the dog for a 1.7 mile walk this morning and then took her along to the office with me. I finished up most of the testing by early afternoon, so came home and relaxed for a bit and then did a 3.3 mile walk. Played with the GPS function on an app on my new iPhone and it was .1 mile different than my Garmin, but they were pretty comparable. I don't want to use it often because it really sucked the battery down, but nice to know I can use it in case of an 'emergency run'.

Stretching now - WiiFit later.

Still some pressure on at work, but I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
