Work, Run, Complain
This week is turning out to be marathon week at work, I think the engineers are cleaning off their desks so they can go on vacation. They don’t know that I’m going on vacation soon too – I learned long ago never to tell anyone this (except my boss). I work as a Technical Writer/Web Designer/Translator/Documentation Coordinator/Baby Sitter for the NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) Development Division of my company. The engineers love to finish up their projects right before summer vacation or Christmas. What’s the last step? The documentation! “Hey Jack, can you read this over the next two weeks (when they are gone lounging on the beach in Spain)”? Yeah, sure, take a number…I’ll get to it when I have time (after I get back from vacation ;-)
Okay, I feel better now. Ranting and raving is almost as effective at getting rid of stress as a good run – ask A. Maria, she knows!
Speaking of which, last night I went for a nice easy 9K/5.5M run. It rained the whole time, but a gentle rain with very little wind. It reminded me of running in the springtime, although since is was only 18C/65F outside, it was probably colder than most spring days. I have only one question, who stole summer in Europe? Fess up, I know you’re out there, geez can’t leave the summer laying around anywhere anymore ;-) I know it wasn’t Thomas in Ireland, his weather is worse than ours.
Tonight I want to stop at the swimming pool on the way home and do some laps. Tomorrow night I want to run with the running club. How’s your week going?

I think we stole it - it was 75 when I went running this morning - at 5:30!!!
Week's going pretty good, trying to get back into the groove.

I've had a great week. Let's see. I've been on vacation for the last week and a half. No reason at all to complain. Perhaps I should complain that I haven't run much lately but heh, I will get back out there.
