Day 169: Returning To Normal

I got up this morning and went to work. Vacation is officially over.  I battled traffic that backed up due to an accident and debris in the road which was not one, but two rolls of carpet.  One would think that one would realize massive rolls of carpet falling off their truck.  Evidently not. 

I was pleasantly surprised to find only 80 emails in my In Box at work.  Then I sat behind my desk all day and worked.  When I got home I wanted to run.

I suited up and hit the pavement.  My body wasn’t really feeling it though.  I don’t know if I was still feeling the effects of jet lag or just plain tired but my legs were not letting me carry my bulk at any real speed no matter how hard I pushed them.  Then came the painful side stitch and I got the hint.  I finished out my 30 minutes. 

I find jet lag can be like muscle soreness sometimes it is the third day that really gets you.  It is rare that I suffer from jet lag since I usually try to set my mind to the time zone I am traveling to. I have had it really bad twice.

The first time was on our first trip to Ireland.  We were there for 16 days and I had a hard time every morning just waking up.  I felt off the whole trip.  The second time I got messed up from jet lag was my first trip to Hawaii.  It was killer for two days I was just exhausted. 

You would think that it would have been terrible in Australia but I had no problems at all.  I believe that it was due to my super power ability to sleep on planes.  I slept for 10 hours out of the 14 hour plane ride.  I felt fine the whole time. 

Daily Recap:
Matt: 30 jogging and walking
Kelly: 1 hour with personal trainer
