Gloomy last day

As I walked around Halifax today, I felt profoundly sad. Was it the after-effects of taking child-specific antihistamines last night? Was it gloom at the course my life has taken? Was it the comedown from too strong a cup of coffee at 2 If By Sea? Or was I just ruddy knackered after all this charging about Canada without a break?

Busted flush

Today I got up early and went for a run, and then sweat a lot, which you can read about here if you want. Apart from excessive perspiration it didn't appear to have much effect on me, although part way through the morning my thighs began to really hurt - too much time spent in a crouch at kempo yesterday was taking its toll on my body.

Kind of blue

Maybe it's the cold, maybe it's the matter of my head being a few kilograms lighter after yesterday's operation, maybe it's having to do my yearly HR review, perhaps it was the trough I'd fallen into after the elation of running up 14 flights of stairs in 2:15 after lunch, but I felt very blue this afternoon.
