When You're on the Edge

I managed to get a run in tonight despite a trying day at work. Today was one of those days where I felt like all I did was run around putting out fires, and didn't have much to show for all of that running at the end of the day. I am working 1st shift right now (about 20 people in my packaging department), and as the shift supervisor, some days I feel like I am a Romper Room coordinator. It is amazing to me that grown men and women can be so petty and immature. There seems to constantly be some kind of drama going on between employees and conflict between people who work together. Combine those issues with working in a dynamic, fast-paced, and results driven environment and you get a feel for the chaos that I preside over on a daily basis.

I was very tired when I got home, but it was just so damn nice out that I had to go out for a run. It was probably in the upper 60's when I left, and by the time that I returned from running 4 miles, the temperature had probably dropped about 5 degrees or so. It was about 7:10pm when I got back so it was pretty much dark. Tonight's run was very cathartic. I was able to purge the trials of the workday, and get into that training zone where you feel one with the road, and your heart, legs and mind all seem to function as one. I came back feeling very refreshed.
