I was a bit tired, and have been weighing a few things in the back of my mind lately, but about the last thing I was expecting to hear last night after finishing my run has been the news that Household6 was in the hospital after what should have been a fairly routine procedure.

I knew it was going to be a long deployment, but there is altogether too much going on in my life right now.

Tonight was one run where I just didn't care how slow I went - and I wanted to avoid setting myself up for overtraining anyway, so I deliberately went easy. I think what I did two weeks ago, trying to do a number of perimeter runs back-to-back, had a lot to do with why I got sick. I can't afford that right now. Most of the time, slow runs bring me some degree of peace, but if there's one word that doesn't describe my state of mind, it's equanimity. Sure wish I had some right now.
