I should have run on Sunday but it ended up being a nine hour workday for me and I had some writing to do for an interesting opportunity that I was applying for and this task took precedence. I was physically exhausted and mentally shaky, and despite my best efforts to produce high quality writing, I think I completely failed.

Running last night was painful. (Note to self: use a thesaurus to find synonyms for painful so people don’t think you just cut and paste that line from other entries about running). It had been a few days and I’m not stretching before runs at all, although I do do a warm up. I need to give myself time to stretch; I even have some suggested websites for good stretches. All day yesterday I ate candy and any unhealthy thing that crossed my path in my treats drawer. The good (?) news is the drawer is now empty, so my goal is to keep it that way, or fill it with fruit. I was particularly susceptible to snacking because I couldn’t concentrate at work (the entire office was too cold) and because I hadn’t gotten enough sleep on Sunday night (and probably beforehand!).

I’m off to rectify the latter right now.
