Wow, felt like a hunk of shit today. Apart from a dank all-staff meeting and a little one-to-one action with my TL at the office today, all that I did was a read a pdf about Epic's database architecture. Holy fuck that is mind numbing. Just an awful afternoon. Hardly wrote any code and that is the shit that keeps me stimulated and enjoy what I am doing. I understand that I got to read up on how Epic's database is organized and that that is important, but man it is hard to get through. Plus it was hard to focus on the shit I was reading because I had Look Alive stuck in my head all day. How ironic. Seriously considering putting in a request to get a standing desk to help keep me stimulated when doing mind numbing tasks on days like today.

So when I got home, I really didn't want to do anything. but I knew I had to get out and run. REALLY didn't feel like going my normal pace so I just went at *almost* Paolo Pace. Still felt horrible. I was planning on doing some loop, but then I I realized I didn't know where I was so I decided to retrace my steps and turn around at 3 miles. But of course I missed a turn so this turned into a bit of a classic adventure run.

Once I got home there was no way I was going to get a swim or bike in with how I was feeling. So I turned on PMT and spent a longer time than usual making dinner. WOW PMT is therapeutic. It did not take long for PFT to start making me cry from laughter and now I feel a lot better.

I'll be ready to get back into my usual exercise routines tomorrow. Just needed a little time for some recovery.
