Running With Jack

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day with the temperature creeping towards 60F by lunchtime. My office was extremely loud all morning with at least three groups of conversation going on most of the time. This always drives me nuts, especially when I have a lot of work to do like this week. I decided I need some fresh air, so I grabbed a coworker and we did a 3K walk around the forest next to our company. This regenerated me and I was able to get quite a bit done the rest of the day.

This is my wife’s last week of work, next week she starts using up her vacation and overtime hours which will bring her up to the end of her contract on April 10th. She has applied for a variety of jobs, but competition is high and so far she has had no luck. I pray that she will find something soon, she is not the type to stay home. Speaking of home, she has the flu and is home with fever - what a great last week of work, phewy! Call me selfish, but I am trying to stay as far away from her as possible so I don't get sick right before my marathon, wish me luck!

Tonight I want to go for an hour run, perhaps with my running club, I’ll have to see when I get home. I also plan on doing a 30 minute run on Friday night to loosen up, the last training before the marathon on Sunday. The weather for Sunday should at least be warm, based on current weather report anyway. Of course it was the same way last year and it ended up snowing, we'll see...
