Back when I first started writing on this blog (more than ten years ago, I think -- wow), I used to just write about my day. I thought I might give that another go.
Oh, and on a housekeeping note, I gather parts of the site -- comments, for example -- aren't working. I'll see if I can sort that out in the next week or so.
Anyway, after many years of spending my Thursdays at work's Weldon Springs location, I switched things up this week and went there on Tuesday instead. I made the change to free myself up for group training for the 5k I want to run in late in October, but I'll have to reserve judgement on the change. Admittedly, I was running about 15 minutes later than usual, but traffic seemed worse on 40 than I was used to seeing on Thursdays. But maybe it's just because school is back in session. I'll know more in a few weeks.
Work was the usual for the days I spend at Weldon. Had some one-on-ones with my staff based out there. I also spent quite a bit of time working on interface specs for some new services we're working on for release in February. My BA is busy with other things, so I've been wearing a BA hat for the past month or so in addition to my PM hat. This needs to be avoided in the future -- I'm just not detail oriented enough to cut it as a business or systems analyst.
Got home around 5, browsed the web for a bit, and then headed out for the first run of my 5k training. Technically, it wasn't all running. I'm confident that I can walk for 3.1 miles, but since I haven't run for any great distance since high school, I'm opting for the run/walk approach to this 5k. So today I ran for one minute and walked for two minutes for however long it took me to cover 1 mile. This hit me pretty hard, so I'm a little worried about what the next nine weeks are going to bring as I ramp up the distance and work towards a 4:1 run:walk ratio.
Home now and it's time for dinner and True Blood.
