Triple booked after 14M

4:21 came quickly this morning as i was out drinking some beers and margaritas at Rio Rita last night with some old friends. They kept me out way later than my bed time, because they're David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel watchers, and they certainly don't understand needing to be in bed around 9 for a 4:21 wake up, and a 14 mile 5:30am run.
Today's run was out past the Hula Hut to Mayfield park and back. Geezer, Ken and I ran the 14 miles together. The stretch from the Hula Hut and Back to Mopac is quite possibly the most boring stretch ever invented by man. It sucks. But whatever, I need the miles, and running with those two clowns, we ended up running many miles under 8 mins, but mostly hovering around 8. Not sure exactly, as I refuse to turn on my watch during Base Building, and instead just glance at the start time, and try and remember to look at the time when i return.
I took Monday off, mostly due to the fact that I ran 10 hard trail miles on Sunday and then stood up for 4 hours at the Cure concert on Sunday night, which got me to bed at 1am. (concert writeup to come at some point). The point is, these days off do more harm than good. It took me well into 5 miles to finally feel like all joints were functioning properly, especially my left ankle that just felt like it was welded together for a good 40 minutes.
other than that, felt great. I decided to pop a Hammergel at mile 9ish, as I was feeling hungry.

Then the fun began. I somehow managed to triple book myself, but as I am king of making things happen, it all worked itself out. Check it out!
8am - Drop car off at dealer for service and take a look at a tire valve. (I chose this time)
8am - potential time when Carpet cleaners were coming as they called me back after we initially went with 9 - 11 window, but they wanted to move to 8 to 10.
8am - Conference call with prospect to discuss their requirements. He ditched me yesterday at 5, and told me he'd only be available at 8am today. (his only availability all week)

So, I finished my run at 7:32, jumped in the bathroom with the shower at RoguEQ. (its actually a decent shower, except water isn't cold enough - yes, I said cold. (It's friggin' hot out when I run.)). Was out of there at 7:42, and shot over to Mazda on Burnet and Koenig. Pull over a few blocks from the dealership at 7:59, pull out notepad, printouts of emails and notes, and call David. "Mike, I'm on another call, can you call me back in 20 minutes?" Sure, I'll cal you at 8:25. Zoom zoom zoom my way on over to the dealership, go through the motions, and get in my loaner car at exactly 8:23. Shoot down a back street, and park in front of a closed business for silence. Call David, get through that call at 8:34. As I'm wrapping things up, my personal phone vibrates, it's the carpet cleaner. 2 minutes later, I call them back. "Mike, we're done with our first job and are heading your way." Sounds good, I'm on my way home too. I'll race you there. I arrived at 8:58, and the cleaners are there, but barely pulling out and screwing in the hoses to the truck. NICE! Who's the king of making it all work? (yeah, I thought so.)

So by 9:30am, I had probably done more than you reading this have done all day.
Just sayin'
