Went on a run after work today. Glad I saved it for the afternoon, because I really needed to unwind after a pretty crappy day of working. Ran from my house to the Chapel on 900 S. and back home for a total of 7 miles. Kept the first 6 nice and easy at 8:23/mile, then pushed the last mile and hit 6:48. Not quite what I was shooting for for the mile, but not bad considering the 6 mile warm-up and extreme pain in my calves! I'll just have to push a little harder next Saturday. I'd been planning to begin a temporary job next week, but decided not to at the last minute. For some reason I just felt sick about it! It would have required me to leave practice at 4:30 every day for three weeks, though, and now that I quit I'm realizing it wouldn't have been worth it! I'm getting enough hours at the Sno Shack to put gas in my car anyway. I'm making that 5:52 a priority!
