It snowed today, so I took my camera to work and took pictures on my runs.

I had been doing so good on this goal and then I got the stomach flu out of nowhere. I’m not considering this week a failure, I couldn’t go to the gym, but we’ll see how I get back in the saddle next week.
When I put this one on my list I thought it would be something I would do on down the line, after I got through with law school, but I can’t take my job anymore. I have to find something better, with more hours, better pay, and with better people. I’m tired of doing all the work for my fellow runners. As soon as I get back from my trip I’m going to start looking for a new job. It doesn’t have to be perfect, or what I want to do with the rest of my life, it just has to be better (or better compensating) than the one I have now. Hell, I’m even willing to consider going back to retail for the right price.
