Well, I only ran for about 27 minutes of this and walked the rest. My plan had been to walk down to the drive and run 4 miles at a comfortable pace. I was hoping 10:30 a mile would be comfortable. I ran into the Urbans though right when I started so walked with them for half a mile until they turned off. I needed to vent and they obliged - see below. Then I started and was going at about 10:30 but after 2 miles I suddenly completely lost all energy. So I eked out a 5:45 half and called it quits on the running and hiked back up the hill home.

I have various ailments - knees not great and have something wrong with the ball/front of the arch of one foot. I really should get that looked at, it was getting better but now seems to be getting worse again.

But mostly I haven't been getting enough sleep and I find myself in a situation where I am very frustrated and want to lash out and say mean things and it's all I can do to be civil and not make things worse than they already are. Knowing that I was close to firing off more incindiary emails, I elected to get out and try to calm down. At least that part worked.

TNT - and NOT by myself. It was going to be a solo effort but I think we have two new recruits. I got an email this morning asking if we still did tnt (it's listed on the DVOA website) and so Martin Forsberg - how can he not orienteer with a name like that and being from Sweden and all - and his friend Mike came this evening to check it out. They elected to run my short hill loop with me as an introduction, but clearly they will be running with the faster guys in the future. And they're especially looking forward to the O discussions over dinner!

Yoga class. I'm out of shape - I was getting tired in lots of poses that I used to be able to hold for a while. :(
