A treadmill run.  

This one was hard, mentally.  First off, it is sweltering in the cardio room.  It actually makes me a little sick.  Second, I'm having food issues--my lunch is too early and by the time I get home my blood sugar is so low that it makes me sick.  Any other idiot would just pack something extra for an afternoon snack, but I am not that smart.  It's just a timing thing.  When I would have time to eat a snack I'm not hungry, and then when I have time again, I'm almost ready to go home.

I did an easy mile (9:13 pace) and then  I did 1/4 mile at 8:00 pace/1/4 mile at easy pace.  Towards the end I snuck in a little rest before getting on the treadmill.

Running now makes me mourn the days when my husband and I got home at the same time.  It was so easy back then.  I'd run pretty much as soon as we got home (when I wasn't famished) and be done running before it was time to start dinner.  Now it's harder to get into a routine.

My husband got punched today by a student while he was trying to break up a fight.  She (yes, she) was then arrested.  He's okay.
