I didn’t sleep well last night. My muscles ached from yesterday’s circuits. I didn’t run this morning, thinking ‘I’ll just do it Friday, I have to go to the gym to do circuits anyway, I’ll just run there and back.’

Then I went to work, and my day kind of fell apart. I was feeling really, really anxious. So I sent my boss a note saying I was checking out early (though I barely left early) and came home to change. Went for a trail run down in the Quechee Gorge. Short and sweet, but I’m SOOOO glad I went because I feel so much better for having gone.

Lesson learned? Don’t skip your morning workouts. They keep you from going crazy.
