October 7

My day started out great and kind of slowly went downhill from there. It hasn’t been a bad day, it just went from great to meh very, very slowly. I woke up early and did a speed run outside, which I never do. I pretty much exclusively run on the treadmill. But this particular run didn’t work on the treadmill because the splits were too fast. It worked really well on the street. I finished feeling PUMPED UP. I had time to shower before work, which also left me energized, and then, well… work. It wasn’t a bad day by any means, but it slowly let the air out of my great mood. And now everyone else has gone to bed and I never really had a chance to be with them and I just feel kind of lonely and sad. I do think I need to do more outdoor running. That is going to require some creative scheduling. It’s not the first time I’ve had to shift things around, but it never feels easy when I do. For now, though, I think it’s time to call it a day. Lying in bed with my headphones on just feels like a nice way to end the day.
