looks like somebody has a case of the Mondays

I'm tired and achy today, and on the list of all the places I want to be at this exact moment, work doesn't even make the top 10. Especially since there's really only one item on the list anyway--home, in bed.

On the bright side, I did manage to pack everything necessary for today's run--clothes, shoes, socks, HRM (both parts!), water, ipod, headphones, keycard for the locker room. Of course, it took nearly half an hour and 6 trips to the car and back in again (complete with the locking of the front door each time) to finally get everything into Gigantor. But I consider that right on schedule for a Monday.

Speaking of Gigantor, the bag's working out better than expected. I'm getting used to hefting it over my shoulder every day, and it even feels a little less ridiculously-huge every time. Sometimes I find things at the bottom that I forgot I owned, but overall I'm glad I went with the largest size. I can carry a full-size bottle of shampoo, brush, two sets of workout clothes, all my various gadgets, a mid-sized novel, and food for the day in just one bag, so I don't feel like a pack mule hauling everything into the office in the morning. And it does fit in a gym locker, so bonus!

I've decided to continue the 10:1 intervals for my run today, mostly just to see if my 2-mile time is still faster this time around than when I was doing them straight-through. I'm such a stats junkie. I'm also doing it before lunch again, because it's barely 70 degrees right now and I'm not really hungry anyway. May as well get out there and work up my appetite! Hell, maybe it will cheer me up and knock out the brainfog too, but I'm not counting on it. :)
