there are days that have highs and lows.

I will use today as an example.  My workday started off in court.  I am not going to get into detail, but suffice to say I have had better days.  The highlight had to be the judge proceeding to give me a lecture on the rules of evidence, the CPLR and the burden of proof in front of a packed courtroom.  Awesome.  The reason? To be honest, I still don't know.  I was there doing what I have done in other cases looking for the same relief numerous times in the past.  One judge let's you do it one way, the next does not, or the next day that same judge does not.  You haven't experienced arbitrary until you have experienced the court system on a day to day basis.

After having chunks taken out of my ass and my JD I was in no frame of mind for clients, so I came home and decided to go for a run.  The monsoons and some issues with my alarm clock (ignoring it mostly) have really thrown my training to sh*t lately.  Mentally though I needed to vent, and I could think of no better way that did not involve hitting something.

With no particular goal in mind I legged out 4 miles in 42:48.  I would be more happy if I did not do the first mile in 8:40.  My pace really dropped off at the end.


Training program for this week.

Tuesday I was supposed to put in five miles.  I put in none.  Today i was supposed to put in three miles.  I put in four.  Tomorrow I am supposed to put in five.  Saturday is a six mile day.  The weather calls for sunshine. 


In closing, all my respect to Dr. Michael Sabatino for running the SunTrust National Marathon in Washington D.C. in 3:55 on March 20.  We shall now add sub 4 hour marathon man to your list of honors, included DM extraordinaire and GoldenEye Champion of Carll's Path, Deer Park.
