This is perimeter run 58.

I was up late, but I forced myself to get out and run. I've been hitting the planner smokes more often than I'd like, but the alternative is to pound the shit out of something, and if I break my keyboard, I don't get a replacement. The pace of work remains as relentless as ever, and my effervescent demeanor at the office doesn't change much.

I must admit, there's an element of catharsis in these runs, and I should get back in the gym and lift, but I don't have the time and given a choice, I'd rather run.

I may go out during the day, take out the attack crosse from the office, and do some wall ball as a matter of clearing the mind. It worked for me in Iraq.
