Turn it around Thursday

RUN 90 mins and 10.5 miles
SWIM 65-ish mins and 3000y as 2x (350-300-250), pulled the 2nd set

After my emotional crash-n-burn last night (and yesterday I guess), I'm resolved to being happier. One step and one decision at a time. W2M2HRN? So all morning I found ways to save time, not stare at a computer, and do things that were positive for my happiness. Carry down the rag to the basement, sit down and eat my preWO sweet potato, don't lick the spatula but wait for the pancake to finish, don't eat it all at once and split it with a powerbar because that's smarter fueling, don't drink all the coffee at once and bring have for after the run. Stuff like that. Little things that add up.

So the morning went much better! Our run group was great, I ran better than I thought I could given my emotional and physical fatigue. Partway through the run I realized that my head was usually what drags me down, and not my body. If I could just ignore the Blerchy stuff it says I'd have an easier time of it.

I took my time getting to the pool. Saw DebS for the first time in a long time and chatted with her. Ate my pancake and drank water. Got to the pool and talked only a few mins to the Black Haired Blerch and this time I controlled the conversation more. The pace and swim felt good, although it felt faster than the 55-58sec/50y I was doing. Got my swim started on good time, although late in the morning!! 8:45am!! HAHA, so much for getting to work early.

Especially when you learn that I ran an errand to Target before going to work! Because I wanted to do it, it makes me happy to cross things off the to-do list, and I work doesn't make me happy right now! HAHA!! Yesterday I was planning to take today off as a sick day, then today I started thinking I could take Friday as a sick day and join LC for a morning long ride. But I won't. I'll come to work, get my sh!t done, and do the right thing.

But I didn't have much to do. So I planned my Triple Brick routes, looked up a few recipes, talked to coworkers about projects (this was most fun part of work day!), updated my logs, and soon I'll be heading for home. Yup, I'm writing this at work! HAHA!
