I'd skipped dinner because I was thinking I'd get in a long run today. Today turned out not to be the case, partly because a request for information came in that required me to turn on it in the office, and because I have to be up an hour earlier than I usually get up - so I was going to curtail it. I was thinking I was going to run seven laps, but as beat as my legs felt (and they felt pretty beat in lap one) I decided discretion was the better part of valor. If I still felt like crap by the fourth lap, I'd call it. Instead, I felt even better, so I put in another one.

All this is offset by the fact that I turned the end of the run fast enough where I was still able to stroll into midrats, and stuffed my face. Because I was hungry. On the bright side, I was pretty loosened up by lap 4 and the last one felt quite nice. I was still hungry.
