Squeezed in a treadmill run between the end of school, track practice, and something we here at Alta call "Advanced Academics Night" where we showcase all our wonderful AP and concurrent enrollment options to the community. All I know is that few people show up, I have to be at work until 8 pm and I get paid an extra $50.00.

How's that for complaining? I am happy I have a job though.

Oh yeah...one of my miles was in 5:58!!!!!

That's pretty weak for complaining.

Nice mile though!

Just 2 years ago I could string together 13 sub 6 minute miles without too much trouble. Now I celebrate one.

$50 extra is nice. Despite what both companies told me when I interviewed, neither of my employers have ever paid me a cent of overtime pay, even when doing 60 hour weeks. 'Merica.
