Off To A Shakey Start

Oh man. Today I slept in until 6:58am and I was suppose to be at work at 7:00am. I don't think I've ever gotten up faster or gotten to work quicker in my whole life. It's thrown my whole day off. I'm working with great people today so in that respect the day has gone well but ... oh my God ... what a bad start! I will mention that I was sitting at my desk and working by 7:35 so I'm giving myself a huge pat on the back for that.

I was talking to Laurie, the supervisor, this morning and she got me thinking about the book, "The Artist's Way". I haven't thought about that book in a long time. It's a book that I've never read but I've heard so much about. Now I've put it on hold for myself at the library. Hopefully, I'll be able to pick it up soon and read what's it's all about.

Right now it's 1:30 and I'm fading fast. This evening after work we are meeting James and Betty. At least, I think it's this afternoon (Saturday) that we are meeting them. If I remember correctly, they are in town, for the day and planning to visit Ryan and Lisa. They want to see us too and I think we are going to drive to the NW area, where Ryan and Lisa live, and meet them there so they aren't driving all over the city. I think that's the plan, although I haven't called Jonathan yet today to confirm any of the details.

Penny is in Taber this weekend at their corn festival. She does the funniest things. I wouldn't in a million years go to something like that. Mind you, it's her sister, Tracy, that went last year and convinced the whole family to go this year. In a perfect world I would continue to do my training runs while she is gone. Yesterday I didn't. Why? Well it was really hot outside and I didn't want to run in the heat. Didn't run this morning ... heck, barely got to work this morning. That leaves tonight. I do believe we will be done visiting James and Betty early enough to go for a run. All that leaves is the desire to go for a run. Right now, I'm not feeling it. This could change ... but it may take something short of a miracle.

Okay, I'll keep this thought in my mind ... going for a run will be very beneficial / not going is counter-productive to my overall attempt to run 10kms.

Let's see if that works.
