Got up and then went back to sleep for a bit. Fixed my tire and made a fancy breakfast (eggs and onions) for myself. Went to church. Talks were fine (good job to the new member who spoke) and the fifth Sunday lesson was also fine. Came home. Napped a bit. Finished Wrestling the Angel. Ate a whole thing of macaroni for dinner. Since the weather was nice and I need to run more, I decided to do an 8.6 mile run today.
Left a little after 7 and made it back in about 85 minutes (I didn't set a stopwatch but I did listen to a ~49 minute album and all but the last 1.5 minutes or so of a 37 minute album. I chose those for pacing reasons since if I beat the albums, that would mean a 10 minute pace). Technically a bit over that since Idid stop the music for like 30 seconds to get water (mile 4.3, so the halfway point) and like a 3-4 minute bathroom break around mile 6.5 (ultimately unnecessary but a bit before I really felt like I needed one). I was tired by the end of it (and really hungry so I ate second dinner) but my muscles don't hurt too much and most importantly, I ran the whole thing. Wasn't even really panting or anything. So my endurance and overall cardio is good. I just need to work more on pacing. This course had some hills too. Nothing too extreme but adding those in is important too. Time to find more courses since I have just like 8 weeks to go. Maybe 7. Sent out some emails for work and lazed around. Filled out and submitted my timesheet, which I was supposed to do Friday but forget given the whole funeral and happy hour things. Luckily I hadn't gotten locked out the system for last week yet. Hopefully my pay isn't delayed too much.
I feel fine. Emotionally and even physically, given that whole running thing. I even played video games (Xenoblade and Runescape. apparently it's double xp week). Need to get up early to go shopping (I haven't in like 3 weeks. I'm almost completely out of food except ramen).
