Back to work I go

Running

Took it easy on today’s scheduled run – only 2 miles. Recovery after the weekend runs. My left knee twinged a bit the first half mile, but felt fine after that. It felt good to run closer to my “normal” time, being out there at 5:30am. Next run will be Wednesday, 3 miles – will be heading out at the normal time, 5am.

I’m more sore from the pushup challenge, though. LOL I still kept at it today, though & got in another 100. Could just be all in my head, but I’m seeing a difference in my arms already. Pushups are the king of upper body exercises, I’m telling ya! ;)

Knitting

Started a Candle Flame Shawl last night. Another project designed to clear out the stash & will be a gift for next Yule. Yep, I’m already starting on gifts, what a surprise. LOL Though I am NOT killing myself this year like I did last year. There’s just no sense in it.

Still pondering ideas for a new sock design. I’m getting closer, I know the “feel” that I’m shooting for. It’s all just a question of time to come up with the details now. ;)

Back to work

So I’m officially back to work today. *sigh* Ah well – I am so very grateful to have a job when so many others do not these days. And I really do totally love my job – I just don’t like all the politics & “personality conflicts” that one must deal with – why can’t people just acknowledge that we are all unique & stop expecting certain behaviors out of people just because they are X or Y or even Z?? Fill in the X, Y, Z according to your own experiences, it’s really all the same. For me, it’s mostly that some folks expect me to behave like an emotional & nurturing woman… to be a “Feeler” (in terms of Myers-Briggs personality testing). But I am not a Feeler! I am a Thinker. Which, really, when you think about it, makes perfect logical sense, seeing what I do for a living! LOL
