Back Early

I returned early from my camping/hiking trip for a variety of reasons, the biggest of which is that I hiked all of my distance in 2 days rather than the 3 I had set aside. So, I was back here in civilization much sooner than I anticipated. But, it's all going to come up Millhouse. A guy I work with had left two weeks ago for his vacation to Vietnam but he's stuck there because the one road into and out of the small fishing village he and his wife were staying in was closed due to a typhoon hitting Vietnam. So, he's still there without an estimate of when he'll be back to Baltimore.

Since I got back early, I decided to seize the opportunity and volunteered to work the rest of the week in exchange for moving the remaining vacation days to next week, when Annie will be back. This way, I get points for being flexible and a team player at work and Annie and I get 5 straight days of QT, which we really need after a summer apart.

So, I'll be back in the office the rest of this week and then Monday and Tuesday and then get Wed-Fri off next week. Should work out just fine.

I've also had to adjust my workout schedule. I'm still sore from my hiking, but I think I should be OK by tomorrow morning. I'll do an easy run tomorrow, speedwork on Thursday and either a recovery run or fartlek on Friday depending on how I feel. I am still undecided on the Full Moon Run on Saturday night, but am now leaning towards skipping it so I can get a quality long run in on Sunday instead. We'll see.
