10/06/2006 Entry: "running away from robert"

I planned badly yesterday, but at least I'm training again. As some of you remember, I've been mostly sick for about a month. The two weeks before the wedding were consumed with tooth pain and tylenol overdosing, and the two weeks since the wedding I was sick because Shawn's kids gave me a bad cold. So, I hadn't ran or biked for a bit over a month.

Yesterday I decided to get right back into it. I started out for a five mile run around 7:45. Keep in mind I haven't ran 5 miles in years. I'd been doing 3 and 4 miles runs. I got back around 8:35. (Yes, I know that pace suXors but I'd been sick and that was pretty far - plus I took a short break at the halfway point to stretch) I got back, walked a bit to get my heart rate down under 60% (I kept it between 90% and 97% the entire run!) and then went inside. I toweled off real quick, put on some deodorant and gold bond (ya can't let ya nuts get stink cheesy!), and then hopped on my bike and rode 3 miles to work at 8:45. I worked for 8ish hours and rode home.

Running 5 miles, biking to work, and then working with no break in between was bad planning.

On a side note, Robert's a dick. I'm thinking about going to a temp agency and seeing if they can employ me for the middle two weeks of July. If so, next week will be my last week at the burrito. I just can't stand to work for him any longer. Think it's a good idea? I'd be easier just to suck it up for two more weeks, I suppose...
