Running

I've been damn busy at work, which means that there hasn't been a whole lot of time for blogging. I have managed to make time for running however. I've been managing to get in about 3 runs per week on the treadmill which is great.
I've had one of the side effects of being a runner kick back in again too. I had a really lousy day at work the other day. A lot of people pissed me off beyond all human comprehension. I was actually threatening to slit people's throats, and I probably would have followed through on it if anyone had challenged me. Anyway I came home still angry as Hell, and my first priority was to hit the treadmill and run it off. I pushed 30% further than I normally go trying to run off the fury and it felt great.
In other news, I managed to make it to mid January before the winter blues hit me this year. When they hit, they hit hard. Paranoia, dissatisfaction, irritability, overwhelmed by even the simplest of tasks. Even today, with exercise, vitamins, good diet, I'm still struggling. I find myself formulating tremendously complicated justifications for why I should quit my job and make some sort of drastic gypsy change to snap out of the rut. I haven't beaten it yet either. I have some fears that the irrational fears I get about losing my job are going to cost me my job, ha! How nuts is that?
On a brighter note, I've noticed that the sun is coming up earlier, the days are getting warmer and longer, and if I can just make it through the next few weeks, I'll have a major victory on my hands. I'll have made it through a summer, fall and winter at a job for the third time in my life!
For now though, I'm hitting the treadmill.
