I didn't wake up until 6:20 a.m., but I made it to work on time. I was super tired all day, but I didn't fall asleep at work or anything. My knees and ankles were still feeling pretty good, but my shin was hurting because of my two-year-old shoes, so I decided that I need to get some new ones (or get my Birkenstocks fixed). After work I went and bought groceries, then we hit the gym. I tried to run there, but my knees weren't up for it (I was capable of running, which is an improvement, but at an even slower than usual pace). I did the elliptical for 30 minutes, nothing special. My ankle and knees were hurting on the walk home, but I'm going to attribute that to the five days I took off. I'm still feeling a lot better and I'm going to try to run to the gym again when I go tomorrow. So, only slightly related to running: I've been thinking of changing my work schedule to one that would be less convenient in some ways, but much more convenient in others. I am working 7-4 right now, which is kind of killing me. I get up early, I work for 9 hours, I come home then hit the gym, I come back home and make dinner, then I blog, shower and collapse. I have no energy or desire to do any of the other things that I need to do (namely, housework). I'm thinking of changing my schedule to 7-11 and 1-5. Then I would wake up early, go to work, hit the gym, go back to work, come home, make dinner, do some housework, then collapse. I just don't have it in me to do anything after I go to the gym in the evening. It's just something I'm throwing around. I kind of think that working out while it's still light out would help with the whole energy thing, too. I'll think about it some more and let you know what I decide. |
