Fridays

Fridays are exhausting. Wednesdays are a double bike workout, double run, and maybe weights day. Thursdays are a double run day, maybe a bike and weights, but the hard part about Friday is that the lousy track/interval time I/we have on Thursday nights. It is 8-9:30pm which means getting home around 10pm and hopefully asleep by 11pm, then getting up at 4:30-4:45am to be set-up and ready to do the bike-run workout at 6am. Of course, this breaks all the training rules by doing 2 track interval workouts less than 48 hours apart, hell, they are less than 12 hours apart. I’ve tried sleeping at the track, on the pole value mats, but security keeps throwing me out. After this workout, I go to work. I can function until noon, after that I start to drool on my keyboard and make barnyard noises.

The good news is that I work in marketing, which means that we leave early to go to the bar on Fridays. The badnews is that my VP always calls me on Fridays around 4pm to ask me a question he knows the answer to which is just a ruse to see if I am still there. I resent this for 2 reasons:

1. He doesn’t trust me
2. I can’t duck out early until after he calls.
