Another ten hour day. My problem with working long days isn't lack of energy. It's lack of motivation. I go to work and it's dark, I come home and it's dark, I still want to get a workout in and make dinner and do some housework. It all just seems too overwhelming. Anyway, when I knew that I wasn't going to get my lunch break again today I called Paul and told him I was going to forego making dinner in order to get a workout in. He was okay with that (luckily we both like leftovers), so I settled on going to the gym after work. Well, when it was dark after work I started to feel like I wasn't really up to going to the gym. So, when Paul called at 6:00 to say that he wouldn't be able to make dinner either (again, thank God for leftovers) and that I should just go to the gym, I decided he was probably right and I went. I really, really didn't want to, but I went anyway because I know that what I need right now is consistency. 1.5 miles on the treadmill. Blah. The music was okay today, but not great, so I was really dragging. I tried to maintain 12:00/mile pace, but was only able to maintain it for 1 mile (I still think that 12:00 pace is a bit fast for me), which is a lot longer than I could maintain 10:00 pace, so I can't complain too much. I'm thinking that tomorrow will be another long day and then I'll be back to my regular schedule. Hopefully I can get out tomorrow, but it isn't looking very promising. At least I get paid for overtime. I'm sure I've said this before, but I am really looking forward to the day that I don't have to go to work anymore. |
