Not much happening here.  Work was a little dull on Monday and Tuesday, but I finally got to meet with one of my bosses Wednesday morning and now I have some clarity on how to move forward on some projects.  And since my other boss is out the rest of this week, I think I'll have no distractions from actually working on these projects.
I did a short bayou run on Tuesday, the first time I’d run the bayou trails in awhile.  I had been avoiding them because I think the hills and the uneven paths aggravate my hip.  But I did 4.5 miles and the hip feels fine.  I can’t say the same about my quads, though.  It’s scary how quickly we lose certain types of fitness!
I came home from work Wednesday really dragging.  It was hot outside, my quads hurt and I really just wanted to eat and take a nap.  But I knew if I didn’t do something, I sure wouldn’t want to later.  So I forced myself out the door and did a nice 5 mile to Memorial Park and back.  The funny thing is that once I was actually running, I felt fine.  Not tired at all! 
There’s a lesson in that, somewhere.

Pushing yourself when you're tired is what seperates the women from the girls! Good for you!
It's so hard to know if it's mental or physical--fatigue that it. I like the 5 min test. If you still feel crappy after 5 minutes, quit. But if you feel better, well then, hey, keep going!
