I wore my hydration back pack hoping that I would not run out of fluids, but I misjudged my fluid intake. By mile 16, my pack was empty. I stopped at the hospital to get a drink of water. This helped me make it home with little difficulty.

I had a shingles shot yesterday. Pumping my arm while running was pretty painful. Fortunately, I was running at a stand still for this workout so I managed to hold off the majority of the pain.

My district is currently in contract negotions. It is not going well. Our union has asked us to arrive and leave at our contractual paid hours starting today. It was very odd to leave excatly at 3:15. With that added time, I was able to ride my bike this afternoon! The ride felt great and I really needed to start extra workouts into my training cycle.

I updated the Map My Run app this morning. When I did that, I lost all of my data for today's run and the year. I know it is insignificant, but I am slightly irritated. I dislike the constant manipulation of taking away inorder to get more from something or someone. I REALLY have zero intention now of purchasing the app. I'm know that the app is down to bare bones, but I'll stand my ground and remain free.
