We have flexible hours, so long as we are in from before the time we are supposed to until after we are supposed to leave. Nothing after the start nor before the end without taking annual leave. Which is why I have liked these last two weeks when I have special permission to work the start/end hours I can.

Here's a tale of woe: My watch told me I set a 5K PR tonight.  But it measured .07 mile longer than my last 5K, so even though I technically ran eight seconds per mile faster, I have nothing to show for it. Which pisses me off. But to look at the bright side: end result notwithstanding, it was a well-executed race. And I seem to be in one piece. NOTHING is more important than that.

 

I think that is all good!

The part where I DID NOT PR is not good.  I am so angry about that, I can't even see straight.

 

Yeah, you got screwed. Your "PR" mile splits are 6:57, 6:46, 6:53. Tonight's mile spits were 6:57, 6:40, 6:45. You killed that bitch!

BUT IT DOESN'T EVEN COUNT.

Mind you, the same thing happened before my last PR... I ran a course that measured long and the fact that I ran a faster pace (by my watch) than I ever had didn't mean anything.

And I have to wait eight whole days before I can try again.

It doesn't matter what your watch says if the course is certified or properly wheel measured.

I am obviously aware of that.  If I weren't, I would be all happy about my "PR."
