nope, not gonna give in...ok...uncle.

My knees have been putting up a little bit of a fight these days. And today, they got the better of me. I had every intention of running tonight. EVERY INTENTION. More than ever, I'm bound and determined to follow through with the plans Allie has laid out before me. However, these intentions were formed before:

~ a crappy day of work with the most henious, horrible Boss that I have ever had the mispleasure of working for,

~ standing all day at said job doing nothing (hence the knees KILLING ME) while ridiculously rude Boss ignores the sales rep (who has set aside a day to meet with her) and micromanages me and the customers I am quite capable of helping,

~ not really eating my lunch because I let Boss shame me into not eating when I was truly hungry because, according to her, "You never eat this early" (accompanied by her withering stare and roll of her eyes),

~ 5 p.m. arrived and a migraine had set in from not eating and dealing with Boss, and my knees were screaming in agony.

So, no running today. I needed a day off and that has just got to be ok for tonight. I'll ice my knees, read the paper, get some sleep and hit the road again tomorrow. Meanwhile, just 8 more working days until I'm free from the tyranny of Boss.

P.S. Yes, before anyone says anything, I'm aware of what happened to my favorite blogger (Dooce) but I don't think anyone in Abilene is even aware of this blog. Still, if this post mysteriously disappears, you'll know why :)

So sorry about your bad day! Don't worry about taking a day off. You may find that knees are necessary for completing a marathon, so take care of them!
