Busy, but still running

Life has been quite busy this summer, I've reached a point where an hour after getting up in the morning I feel like laying down for a nap - not good! My job is taking a large chunk of my time. I work as a Technical Writer/Web Developer/Translator/Jack-of-all-Trades and in the moment am getting hit hard from all sides. To top it off we are evaluating Content Management Systems which requires an insane amount of time - which I don't get paid for .

I ran my 14km (8.7 mi) loop last night at a moderate pace, around 5:40/km (9:08/mi). My legs were heavy, but I managed to keep the pace going. My running is holding up well, I have cut the mileage back and so far have managed to maintain my speed. I am enjoying running with my running club and look forward to running with Iris again soon. In the moment my running is my therapy, offsetting the stress from work - I thank God for this outlet.
