I am falling WAAAAY behind on my training! I’m not even training at all now, it seems! Since last Sunday, I’ve only run once, and only 2 miles! Eeks!

Well, last weekend, I had to work practically the whole weekend, except for the time I went to Bob’s party, and the 1 hour each of running on Saturday and Sunday, plus the hour for church. Saturday, I slept at around 1:30, and woke up on Sunday morning at 8am to start working. Sunday night I worked until 1:00am, and couldn’t fall asleep until 2:30. The working part was okay, but in addition to that, I was also incredibly stressed about not finishing. Other people needed my work by Monday afternoon so that they could go to NYC and test it out on end users. By the time I went to bed Sunday, I still had a ton of work to do, so I was really, really nervous.

On Monday morning, I didn’t even take a coffee or a water break and just worked for 4 straight hours. I was done by 1:30 and was even able to pull off writing spiffy test procedure documents. After I was done, I showed it to my boss, who until now had only the vaguest idea of what I had been working on, and he got all excited and impressed at what I had done. Wednesday morning, during our team’s meeting, he even acknowledged me and the work I had done, and said that people should check it out. That got me all excited. Excited enough to work out that night. Monday and Tuesday nights I was way too tired to do anything after work. I couldn’t even go to sleep at a reasonable time, so I’m still up to now, running on reserves. But I plan to sleep an hour earlier tonight, so hopefully I’ll feel a little better tomorrow morning.

So, back to the training. It occurred to me that I will be doing a 5K on the 24th, a tough one at that, (heard there was a mile of uphill), with only a little over 2 weeks to go. Aaack! Panic-mode. So, tomorrow, watch me, I’ll be out running. Early. Watch.
