This has been a tough day. It started out great. I got up at 4:40 and went for my run. I am so excited because I ran the entire 1.5 loop again today in essentially the same amount of time as yesterday. Which I think is acceptable since my calves were so sore. It was a breezy 63 degrees. Work has been really crazy today. We were shorthanded and really, really busy so I did not get to take a lunch so there went an opportunity to do some requirements and then I have been on the phone so much that I haven’t been able to drop at my desk for pushups and sit-ups. I will have to make some up later today and/or over the weekend.
Last night I worked with Russ, my mentee. He was out of town one week then sick the next so we are behind on our meetings but will double up now that he is feeling better. We worked on high yellow one step defense and reviewed yellow one step. It is so rewarding to help others, adults and children alike.
