Wiped out...

I am absolutely wiped out from my day at work. I have barely had a moment to myself since I left this morning. I had to hit the ground running at 8:05 with a "crisis" that needed to be resolved before I had to be in all-day applicant interviews at 8:30. Just breathe, mel. The day is over now. Except that tomorrow will be more of the same...

I called K at work late this afternoon, knowing that I was emotionally spent and looking for some support. He was distracted and busy with his own job demands, so I got frustrated. Then, he got frustrated with me for getting frustrated with him. I still just need someone to empathize with me and understand. And, a smile or a hug is nice too.

I've got so much to do outside of work this week too before our trip this weekend. Errands, going back to the doc to get my BP checked, getting new running shoes, etc. And, trying to fit in time to run on top of that. I don't think I'm going to be very successful.

Speaking of running, I had my first painful run again last night. I ran about 4-miles on the East side of the trail. I'd say the pain was about 4 or 5 on both legs. Perhaps not coincidentally, I ran immediately after ART (session 9). I happily shared the news of my long run on Saturday with the doc. He decided that I could skip the anodyne treatment and just get ART. Very minimal pain on both legs while he worked on the lower inside of them. Since we skipped the anodyne, I asked him to also take a look at my calves, since he hasn't done that in awhile and I'm worried about them getting super tight again. He found a few spots that need to be worked out, but still nowhere near what it was like when I first came in. I'm going in for another session on Thursday to tune up before the half on Sunday. Oh, after my good run on Saturday morning, I decided to go ahead and run it. More on that later...
