I had all the ambition to go 10.5 miles today (2 sans loops), but I only ended up doing 5.4 paltry miles.  Cloudy again, the temperature was 72 but the humidity was 92%, making it muggy and much worse than yesterday&#8217;s weather.  Plus, I felt pretty poor, apparently not adequately recovered from yesterday&#8217;s run.  Here are the humiliating deets for today:<br \/>\n<iframe width='465' height='548' frameborder='0' src='http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/44783220'><\/iframe><br \/>\nLast night I slept in my black recovery compression socks.  This morning I did a 10-minute total body Pilates routine before heading out at 6:30am.  I kept on the socks, which might have heated me up a little more than I liked.  I also ate a Gatorade bar on the go.  During the run, I felt like yesterday only worse: dragging, not going very fast, etc.  I could tell that 2 loops were not looking feasible.  So I stopped after my first loop.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m trying to get my priorities straightened out.  I have what is looking like a lot of work and especially focus to do if I want to achieve my goals.  I&#8217;m operating mentally &#8220;behind&#8221; and focusing may help me get on top of things.  It&#8217;s a good life but one I&#8217;m not coordinating adequately.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the trouble is the inability to appropriately manage my energy.  Take today for instance: I have an 11:30am calltime for a film with 2 wardrobe to wear.  I have no earthly idea if today will be a short or long day.  I have no idea if I&#8217;ll be out by 2:30pm or 1am.  You can see how it&#8217;s hard to manage my energy.  Expend it now?  Expend it later?  Conserve it now?  Conserve it later?<\/p>\n<p>Then, factor in that I don&#8217;t know if I have work for tomorrow, and if I have it, I don&#8217;t know the calltime until maybe 10pm.  In such a case, I could end up with a 6am calltime, and again the energy management debate begins anew.  It&#8217;s very tiring.  3 hours of sleep one day, then a demanding training schedule, on top of an unpredictable acting schedule, and you have spelled &#8220;CHALLENGING LIFESTYLE.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping with the theme of ugly feelings during runs, I&#8217;ve titled today&#8217;s entry &#8220;BLAH&#8221; because it wasn&#8217;t pretty.
