Got my 10K run in this morning.  It was slower, my legs were feeling tired and I wanted to save something for a run home today.  I was worn out from an attack on the high seas yesterday and didn't get a pm run in.  Hope to get one in today.

Knee wants to be bothersome.  I wish it would take a flying leap off the plank!!

Made it home the 5 miles after work, but it was a tough run.  Took me a while to get my knee brace strapped around my knee right so it wasn't hurting, and then I had one phone call/text after another.  Because mini-me was out with the car, I kept checking my phone to make sure she wasn't having any troubles.  I was trying to run on the washed out side of the road, answer my phone, and juggle 2 water bottles at the same time.  I finally started feeling like I was running strong around mile 4.5 and considered going for 6 instead of 5, but 5 was right in front of my ship, and there's no place like home.

In my effort to eat healthy, I ate frosted shredded wheat, canned peaches, pb&j, and chips with salsa for dinner.  And half a twix.  I am really looking forward to having Friday off.

Thats 2 good runs in one day. Sorry your knee is bothering you. Glad you finally figured out how to adjust your brace for a comfortable finish. And Hey, that's my kind of dinner. I should try that "diet".

How about this twist to your motto:

"With all it's sham drudgery and broken dreams... The world is still one great big pirate ship."

Not sure if Max Ehrmann would appreciate the pirate ship comment, but it wouldn't be a beautiful world without them, so maybe it's okay!
