Happy Birthday Mom! :) Yesterday
Happy Birthday Mom! :)
Yesterday I had grand plans to leave work at 4:45 and go running on the Gilruth trail for the first time this year. At 4:30, I was starting to mentally shut down. By 4:40 I was starting to shut down my computer and gather my things. That's when Gavin walked in and said "hey Sarah, do you have a minute to talk with Rich and me about the neural net?" Sure, of course I do.
Next thing I know, it's 6:00 and getting dark, and I still had to go to Wolf Camera, and I didn't even get home until 7:30 and I was tired. But that antsy, anxious feeling remained, and I decided that the only way to get rid of it was to go for a run, even if the time and darkness now meant running laps around my little street.
So: 3.25 miles, 34:02, 10:28/mile, average heart rate 185. I didn't push myself too hard, but hard enough to settle myself down for the night. Which, I then was up too late yet again for the umpteenth time because I have overcommitted myself.
I am tired.
The Winter Olympics start tomorrow. I didn't even realize!
I don't think I realized the Olympics start tomorrow either...wild.
I hate those kind of nights where it gets away from you, and before you know it, you've missed the plans for a run, especially if it's a trail. That kills me. At least you were disciplined enough to get out and run anyway. :-)
Oooooh, what did you pick up at Wolf Camera? Something really cool I hope.
I picked up a backpack. The Lowepro Rover -- I'm hoping that it will work for the Patagonia trip. I already have a camera backpack I really like, but it is just camera, and there's no room for water, a raincoat, etc. I'm going to test the rover to see if my stuff fits; otherwise, I'm using the hiking daypack I already have and just keeping the lenses in their pouches.
I now have FIVE camera bags. It's the woe of the photographer -- no bag is ever exactly what you want.
Holden, for truly "cool stuff" I almost always order online. :)
