Traffic, Passwords and Calories

Um whoa. I was late for the first time today to work.

Um whoa. I was so extremely embarrassed.

Um whoa. That's never going to happen again.

No kidding! Walking in 15 minutes late was pretty much like walking down the road to Hell and back. I don't even care if it was paved with adjectives! It was still awful! I even left in plenty of time! I gave myself 35 minutes to complete the 25 minute commute! Good gads! It all started when I decided to take State Street instead of Glenwood. Bad idea! State Street is backed up from Glenwood to Eagle Road! AND THE LINE IS CRAWLING!!! Uh yeah. It took me 30 minutes to get to Glenwood. NOT! Funny. So that left me five minutes to get to work, while I still had 20 minutes to go! Even not funnier! If there's anything I hate in this world that's road related, it's stupid drivers, inattentive drivers, and construction traffic with the aforementioned. MORONS! Ironically, a Snickers sounds really good right now. That's odd. I kicked sugar a few months ago. Strange....

Anywho, for work I was required to set up ten thousand new passwords. However, because I'm awesome, I tend to stick to ones that are quite related. However, I seemed to have a problem today when I kept entering the one I'd chosen for that system, and it kept rejecting me. My coworkers and boss were thinking I was crazy. Quite literally! I wouldn't have blamed them though. It turns out I wasn't crazy [as they were thinking], but I wasn't granted access to that system yet. Huzzah! :D I even changed my password three times to make sure I got in. Hooray for that jazz.

So.... Because yesterday was such a great run, I suppose today was destined not to be...? No really. It was... weird. I suppose I should preface by stating that I've been on a major health kick for a few months, and a hard-core no sugar regiment for almost a month. During this time period, I've pretty much restricted any crap out of my diet, and stuck with the lovely protein sources [i.e. soy, beans and corn, cottage cheese, ect.], fruits, vegetables, whole grains [i.e. old people fiber cereals (yeah, that's right, I rock the All-Bran Bran Buds!)], and occasionally some super carbs like a piece of toast or something. However, apparently today I didn't get enough calories, though I likely exceeded my protein count. Because of this, I didn't even feel like running. Did I know this before hand? No. Did I blame it on menstruation [another story entirely]? Partly. Did I whine about it to my mom? Naturally. Did I go more than thirty yards after getting to the park? No. Did we come back home and attempt a bike ride? Yes. Did I get past the first hill? Not really. Did we go home after that? Certainly. Do I still feel like a jelly fish inside? True story. Have I ever understood rhetorical questions? Always.

I suppose I'm just whining about how almost anorexic I am again. Only not really, because I feel no motivation to continue my stupid cross country training. I hope I'm just in a bad mood and will feel ten thousand times better and more excited to run tomorrow. I hope I'm antsy at work because I want to be running. I hope that because I didn't run today I'll want to run twice as long tomorrow. I hope that my body functions properly and my knees don't freeze up so I can run twice as long tomorrow. I hope I eat enough calories tomorrow to think clearly. I hope I don't repeat my 4th through 6th grade eating disorder. I hope I reshape my body naturally; like normal people. I hope I accidently reshape my body because of a new love for running. I hope I sleep well tonight. Cheers.
