What are you doing right now?

Kick him in the nuts. It might not help further your professional career but I guarantee it'll make you feel better.

Trying to get motivated to pack the kids up so I can go for my run.

Getting better! Last time I did 3 min running/2 min walking/5 min running/2 min walking/3 min running/2 min walking/3 min running/walk for 5 min to cool down. Considering I never ran before and only started training a little over a month ago, I'm getting there!

Envisioning a few days off where I have got myself caught up with all my work tasks.

Good job, Carrie. That's great progress- and being someone who hates running, I respect anyone with the determination and grit to stick with. My girlfriend runs a lot, and I don't know how she does it.

What's scary are next week's intervals. They include 8 min running sessions, and the last run of the week is supposed to be 20 min straight. Still, the couch to 5K plan has been working well for me. I'm pretty happy with it. I don't always like running, but I like the way I feel afterwards. That's enough to get me to stick with it... and 3 x a week isn't hard to do.

Right now, I'm trying to keep my 3 year old from destroying the house. She already broke something and is screaming that she wants to cut paper.

That's a good thing. Embrace the endorphins, embrace the runner's high. It will help you stick with it and turn you into an addict. A health addict.

You've already pushed over the first most important part, and that is getting yourself tired enough just once to feel that high. A lot of people that try to break into endurance sports and give up after one or two outtings never push themselves hard enough to feel that post hgih because they lack the will power to feel the pain necessary to get there.

It's one of the feelings that keeps me cycling all the time and touring in the winter. Incidentally, it also makes me pretty horny. Endorphins are funny like that.

Munching on a ham, turkey, brie on rye and making a list of stuff to do. sellin some euros and oil.

That explains a lot about how I've been feeling lately.

Off to my parents' house to run on their treadmill. The kids will trash the room but at least I get my 30 min in. Have a few errands to run after that.

Siotting here and dreading this weekend at work. 36+ hours in the next 3 days! My weekend is going to be..work.. sleep.. work.. sleep..work..sleep....i hate working 3 nights in a row. I was just off for the last 6 nights, so now i have to make up for it.

Daughter in school...only 2 more full days and 2 half days until shes done. Son still in bed...Earth Science Regents at noon and then hes done for the year. Maybe i should wake him up to study...but then i know he was awake until almost 2 studying. Freakin' brainiac!! LOL.

Update from yesterday on my very pregnant employee. Water apparently broke around 10 last night. And as of about 10 minutes ago, still in active labor (apparently "stuck" at 8cm dilation for the last 4 or 5 hours).

I guess she wasn't joking about the labor pains yesterday

Eating Pretzals and diet coke..only two orders came in the mail today...I just mailed out some hunting designs for a customer...alot of the monuments we produce have deer, fish and outdoor scenes..we even did one with a skier on it last year..the picture of him provided by the family was from the 80s so it was the old school narrow stance style..and everytime I saw the tombstone in the yard before we delivered it...I thought...wow..he needs to get on some Supershapes and widen his stance for more angulation..

Eating pretzals and drinking a diet coke..

Just got back from a nice walk around the neighboring park at lunch.

 

[Moe Ghoul]

Got back from Sears and Lowe's. Tried a Taco Bell Gordita, weak. checking markets and getting ready to put new chain on the saw and rip some lumber. Topped off the Pilot tank for 32$. That's how much gas I've used since last week of April. YEEEEEAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! Mean n Green....

Run was good.... 3 min run/90 sec walk/5 min run/2 min walk/3 min run/90 sec walk/5 min run (with a warm up and cool down on top of that). The hardest part was keeping 2 kids in line for the 30 min I was on the treadmill. But it was worth it. Definitely got the runner's high today.

Right now, I'm dealing with a toddler tantrum. She's supposed to be doing a time out and just got up so I guess I need to attend to her.

From wiki:

Endorphins are endogenous opioid polypeptide compounds. They are produced by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus in vertebrates during strenuous exercise [1],[2], excitement, and orgasm[3]; and they resemble the opiates in their abilities to produce analgesia and a sense of well-being.
