Stress Relief –

Running is by far my ‘burn excess energy’ choice.  When I am happy – I run, when I am sad – I run, when I am mad – I run, etc.  It may not solve all the world’s problems, but it does burn the extra adrenaline and allow me to think clearly.

Yesterday was a crazy day for me.  Work is absolutely bonkers.  I feel like this week I am doing 4 jobs, and doing none of them well.  I have my previous job, I have some of Bill’s flow over, I have the brand new earthquake book that we are trying to get going, and Andrea is out, so I have her job too!  I feel like I am spread too thin and not making anyone happy.  I am also extremely stressed about the test I have in a week and a half.  Top that off with the chain on my necklace breaking and damn near reduced me to tears.  I didn’t lose the quarter or anything, but it was the final straw.
Worked late and then went home.  Talked to my sister (it was her birthday – and she got a treadmill) and then mama.  After that I laced up the running shoes and went on a run.  I did three miles – and the first one was all hills.  The last 2 miles were at a comfortable pace, not really pushing it, just getting in miles.  Ended with an 8:39 pace. 
After that I did some studying.  I skipped out on biking (insert sad face here L) and even an invite to Hooters for a fantasy draft – side note – that got me thinking it has been a long time since I had wings, I miss wings, yay for football season.  Hopefully tonight will be a fun night at volleyball.  This is going to be a long week….
