You will never guess what I did yesterday. I went to the gym and ran. No really, I did. I was going through apps on my old phone and found the Galloway half marathon training app. I decided I would try it out. It started out slow, which is good because I haven't done any kind of exercise in eons. Day one consisted of a 3 minute warm up and 20 minutes of running intervals. Done. I am going to work my OT schedule around my running schedule because I need to do this for me.
Summer hit full blast yesterday. When I got in my car to go home from work the dash thermometer said 100. No bueno for this red haired fair skin girl. My plan is to do the short runs on the treadmill and wake up at the butt crack of dawn to do the long run on Saturday.
Yesterday was a horrible day at work. I'm not really sure if it was just me being overly sensitive or if things have been going on that I just didn't pay attention to because I have been all wrapped up in my own problems. Basically they are giving the other lead in my branch all kinds of budget training so she will qualify for our supervisors job when she retires. I told them that I don't want the job but for some reason it just really bothered me yesterday. She also won an award for being a technical expert in our field but half of the stuff they wrote up that she did is MY job. I really felt like bundling up all the work they say was hers and give it to our boss and say here ya go, this obviously isn't mine. But, its just work. My job does not define me.
My weight was up a little but I am going to blame the heat and that I got up in the middle of the night and drank a half a bottle of water. There is no way I could be up 4 pounds over night. I started with the water early today. I would like to get 2L in before time for lunch.
No exercise tonight, I am going to work until my eyes cross.

YUCK! I hate that kind of work place crap... we have plenty of that type of stuff going on around here.
ReplyDeleteI have been paying an outrageous amount of money each month for the gym I don't go to... I have to recommit. Thanks for that nudge in the right direction! So glad you're making it a priority for you!
You know, someone was talking to me about doing Galloway for Marine Corps so that I can at least still do it. I might have to check that out!
ReplyDeleteIt's getting hot here too. We haven't seen 100 yet, but we're getting pretty dang close.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting to the gym and coming up with a plan! I'm sure exercise will help with stress, anxiety, and grieving.
