I guess that's why the pay me

Things have really started to heat up at work lately, so running has definitely been difficult so far this week. Yesterday the plan was to get in a medium distance run and I tried to squeeze it in, but all I could manage was 14 miles at a probably too fast pace of 6:20. Like I said as I was in a huge hurry to get back to work, so I was pushing the pace as much as I comfortably could. For some reason, both of my hamstrings were cramping up pretty badly near the end of the run, but once I stopped and rehydrated, they seemed fine.

This morning was 9 miles at a relaxed 6:40 pace. I had planned to venture out at lunch for another 7 miler, but I've been to busy to do much of anything today so the run will have to wait until (hopefully) later tonight. I'm pretty lucky in that most days at work I have enough to keep me busy, but not too much where it's overwhelming. However, every once in a while, things can get a little hectic. I kind of like it…as long as it doesn't become a habit!
