A funny thing happenned to me on the way to my great career today. Do to a down turn in the Northeast greenhouse industry I was sacked today at work. My former employers have always been open with me. I knew we were hurting from sagging sales and that they had gambled the farm on increasing sales this fall. I am leaving with great references. That will make it easier to get a new job.
From a runner's point of view, this month should be a great month for logging miles.
This weekend I did not go out for 20 miles on Sunday as planned. I got up at 5:00 AM instead of 4:00 AM. I had to check the greenhouses Sunday morning, get in a long run, and spend some quality time with Ben and Lisa. I shorten my run to 13 miles, checked out the greenhouses, and I was home for 9:30 AM. The new plan is to go out for about 25 miles tomorrow (this plan was made before I got sacked today, I was taking Tuesdays off as vacation time this month to get in some mileage and work on the house).
Running thirteen miles on Sunday was definitely shorter than I had planned. Lisa and I went for a 10 mile bike ride on the Norwotick RailTrail with Ben on the back of ny bicycle. We spent the rest of the afternoon in our perennial garden pulling weeds. It was a good day. I guesse my training is paying off in that I felt like I had gotten little exercise all day (13 does not do it any more).
The new plan. Find a new job, and train hard in September for the Mystic Places Marathon.
Keep running folks.
