Rumors are circulating of another layoff. I work through another lunch break, thereby delaying my workout until after work. There is no room to believe the rumors right now. There is no time to ease up. There is much work to be done, and timelines to meet.
The bottom line is not what it once seemed. It more than just pay, it is the wonderful people that I work with, the flexibility to go to appointments as needed, and the luxury of not having to travel. The bottom line is my family. Isn’t funny that the bottom may be pulled out from under me regardless of how tirelessly I work to achieve the set timelines.
Until then…it’s just rumors.

Life is a journey and, for me, running is a huge part of it. Just like a great run, it has easy and tough parts. It is beautiful at times and ugly at others. Hopefully, I will reach the finish feeling good about what I have accomplished and leave a long trail of bread crumbs to show, those that wish to know, where I have been.
Blech!! I hate that. You are right though. You still have to give it your best.
