A Long Day

Today was a long day at work. I was busy and felt generally flustered the entire time. Everyone did. The vibe of an office–my office in particular–can completely change with one person's attitude. That's what happened today.

The bossman had bad news funneling down to him, so that negativity seeped through the whole space and consumed us. I have yet to come up with a good strategy to combat this epidemic. And I don't have any ideas. It's just negativity energy that I can't avoid.

I wouldn't describe myself as particularly negative or positive. I am a realist. Sometimes to a fault. But I am a happy person. I like being happy, and I purposefully do things to make myself happy.

Like pictures of babies. Pictures of babies make me happy.

In light of the overwhelming negativity in the office, an already busy day and traffic on the drive home, I was not feeling a run in the dark today. I definitely wanted to do something, so I did a youtube search for a yoga video.

I settled on a 42 minute hatha yoga routine. I haven't ever taken a traditional yoga class. I really want to, but I'm a little intimidated. This video was nice. It was not awesome, but it was enough to make me feel better and stretch out the soreness I've had lingering all week.

Holy wow.

I will never have moves like the seriously awesome woman above. I mean seriously, she's so cool. But I'm definitely going to throw in yoga on active rest days from now on.

Tomorrow I will be doing a training run and Workout B of NROL.

Power of positive thinking indicated it will be a much, much better day.
