Finished up 3 consecutive days of 8 hours of meetings in a row. Tired of sitting in a windowless conference room.

Came home from work this afternoon and walked the dog for 2 miles. Then I went and worked at the temple. I got home about 9 and ran 3 miles, working on better form and pushing my pace slightly.

Now to try and wind down and hope it doesn't take hours to fall asleep.

I know those days. When I travel for business that is exactly how it goes. Sometimes they stretch to nine and ten hour days. Its horrible. Glad they are over. Windows are nice.

It looks like your easing into your "recovery"/plan b. I'm sad I missed yesterday, it would have been fun. You have the same problem I do (work!). Hope all is well in your world (aside from having your energy sacked by endless meetings....).
