I carried my workout bag into the office this morning knowing that the likelihood of my actually getting to use it was low. It was due to be one of the colder days of the week, so I told myself that I didn’t care that much. Of course I DID care…a lot.
Having worked into the night hours yesterday, I was easily able to get right back into the task at hand. I began working almost as soon as my computer booted up. I wanted to be done with frustrating project as soon as possible.
By 11 am, I began realizing that I was running on empty. I hadn’t eaten breakfast. I reached for the remaining half of a Builder’s Bar that was in my workout bag. The bar didn’t even begin to tame the hunger that was now coming to life. I went in search of some food. I returned to my office with a packet of instant oatmeal and found Mark waiting for me as I reached for my bowl. Mark was just about to head out for a run.
It didn’t take much for me to realized that I needed a break. Suddenly my want to run was stronger than my desire to eat. I began rummaging through my workout bag again. After locating a packet of GU, I agreed to meet Mark outside for a short getaway. Oh, Vanilla Bean GU…yum.
