So tired today. I was supposed to do 30 minutes plus some weights, but I didn't have the energy. I slept really well last night, so I'm not sure why I'm so tired. I was struggling to keep my eyes open at work and then decided not to go to the gym. I told Paul that I would go if he made me, but warned him that when things stop being fun for me that is when I usually quit, so forcing me to go could be potentially hazardous. He didn't push the issue. Still planning on running tomorrow, though.

So, here's something unrelated: I work in the customer service department for ICON. We make treadmills. My supervisor gave my co-worker a project to work on and he couldn't sleep and has been on edge all week because of it. I mean, in the scope of the company, what my group does is important, but in the grand scheme of things my job is pretty meaningless, so I tend to not get too stressed out. I just go and do the best that I can, then I try to leave it at work (well, I leave everything except the stories at work...those I take home to share with Paul). I don't think that people really realize how negatively stress affects you. I told him to do some yoga, but I don't think he'll take my advice. He hasn't taken my advice about joining the blog, so why would he listen to me about this?
