Nice break

I've gotta admit: it's nice having such a long break in the middle of the day. And to spend it at Lick Creek, a beautiful wooded park, is fantastic.

I walk most of the way when I'm out there, but I try to jog as much as I can on the way back to the trail head. Hopefully, eventually I'll be able jog most of the way instead of vice versa.

Today, I was an idiot and woke up late. Thank God for the backup alarm on my phone. I didn't get into work until 7:00. So I had to shorten my lunch break to an hour and a half. Probably a good thing because, man, I had to pee so bad on my way back. I could feel my full bladder bouncing while I jogged. I was so tempted to squat in the bushes, but there were other people out on the trail, and you never know when someone's going to come around the bend.

I can't work late today, because I have to get ready for my 5:00 Krav 2 class. Unfortunately, Krav 2 is only Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:00 PM. I went to Krav 1, which is still at 6:00 PM, yesterday for the exercise. It wore me out completely, even more than usual. Probably because I've been feeling rundown and slightly under the weather. I only worked half days on Monday and Tuesday because I wasn't feeling so hot, and I didn't work out those days. And I was a slug on the weekend. Spent half of Saturday and most of Sunday sleeping off and on, curled up on the couch. I guess 4 days of relative inactivity really caught up with me. Hopefully, I can get back in the groove of things.
