Work was, for the past week, really busy. Then the weekend was even busier... Sentence fragments aside what I'm trying to say is that I didn't run this week until today... Friday.
That makes this week my worst running week since I started running back in September. I'm not proud of it, but the exercise I got while working, was OK, and the walking I got done while working counts some. I also got off the food tracking wagon over on sparkpeople.com so I gained 3 lbs over the past two weeks. I can fix that relatively quickly. I knew I was going off the plan, but work was really out of hand.
I'd planned to run outside today, but then the wind picked up and the temperature dropped and the snow started and it wasn't doable so I hit the treadmill back at SnapFitness and I did some alternating running and walking to get back into it again. It was good to run again. I felt much better afterewards and I'm glad I went.
I'll run again tomorrow morning, maybe even Sunday. None of the runs will be long runs or terribly fast runs, but I'm running again and glad of it.

Who was I kidding?
Yesterday started at 8am and ended at midnight... not just wandering around and lazing on the couch watching Survivor either... but working. I'd naively thought I'd feel like a run or walk or something the day after that. I also thought, rather insanely that I'd be able to. Well. I'm not.
It is safe to say that I won't be running again until possibly Sunday, but more probably Monday. I say it like that because Sunday's a travel day, and what with flights and driving and then family dinner by the time I have time to run I will have just eaten probably 1000 calories worth of carbs, gravy, cheese sauce, or some other belly bomb that will not contribute to feeling like moving, regardless of how much I SHOULD run after eating that.
So, I'm going to be quiet here over the next few days about actual running. I'll talk about other things as time presents itself... like now... but it won't be about a current run as there won't be any for a minute or two.
