I'M DAMN TIRED OF SITTING!!! Our office moved Tue Feb 25 so it's only taken 6 days of total sitting to start inflaming my piriformis. I had a stand up desk along with my normal desk at the other office for the last 6+ years. My practice is to keep my laptop and a phone slip pad on the stand up that way if I need/want to look at my computer I'm forced to stand, and with my headset I can take phone calls. The stand up was originally a patio table at my bosses house. He wanted to get rid of it so I asked him if I could bring it to the office and he said okay. My best guess is that I normally spend 40% of my day at my stand up but since the move I'm sitting 95% of the time and it's killing me.
Our old office was old and pretty beat up so having a rustic table inside was okay. Our new office is a normal office. New carpet, fresh paint and a normal office setting so my plan was to not bring the stand up until I could put a new top on it and paint the legs. The plan has changed to me painting the legs after work today while I drink some IPA's and Sam is going to help move it to my office tomorrow on his way to work. I'll put a table cloth on it until I can get the new piece of stained and finished wood on it.
Had a good solo Thursday morning run. I started off not pushing too hard and then a couple of miles in I thought I'd test my theory about mixing in some walking but still having a decent run time. Well, sure enough it worked out. I mixed in 5 walk breaks and ran 1:07.12. Right there with other recent runs. It felt good to be running AND taking some breaks. I'm pretty sure it's been a long time since anyone was stuck running Thursday morning all by themselves. I suppose I shouldn't say "stuck". I'm good running alone anytime.
