Madness

It has been a CRAZY 24 hours and I'm apparently on the bad side of Karma.

Took part of the day off yesterday to be with family. I was at work by 5:30pm and within the first hour we had a house fire. Then we had a few more calls during the night and I didn't see my bed till 4:30am! As I was getting ready to get off work at 8:00am I was held over on mandatory over-time till 11:00am. Came home and went straight to bed. On Tuesday nights (today) I work for Wyatt so he can go to his Civil Air Patrol meeting, therefore I was BACK at work by 5:30pm. On the way there he called and said they were on an EMS call and asked me to relieve him at the hospital. I should have known this was a bad sign.

Started my walk-run workout on the treadmill. Made one EMS call during the run. Ironically, the call was to a local park where a jogger was dizzy. Anyways, when we got back to the station I started again, adding a little extra to my scheduled run. Seven minutes from the end of the final walk I got another call. Wyatt met me on scene and I went to the station to finish my walk and get my stuff.

I know it doesn't seem that hectic reading it on this blog, but it has been a crazy-ass day.

Walk:
4.51 miles
1:15:30
16:44 pace

Run:
3.24 miles
45:20
14:00 pace

As for the run, it seemed easy and fun. Wish I could have finished the workout continuously.

I'm attempting to raise money for Houston Marathon's "Run for a Reason" program. I've selected MARATHON KIDS as my official charity recipient. Need to raise a minimum of $350 ASAP. If you can help, even a few dollars... please call or email me.
