Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony for the Borinqueneers – Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yesterday was a long day.\u00a0 An awesome day, but a long day.\u00a0 I went to the ceremony pictured above (my photos are much less awesome).\u00a0 My job affords me a lot of very cool opportunities.<\/p>\n

But it meant that yesterday was exhausting.\u00a0 And I realized that when I get stressed, I forget to take care of myself.\u00a0 Hydration, for example.\u00a0 I realized that by the time I got out of the ceremony, I had managed to consume only about 24 ounces of water all day (plus two mugs of tea and a mug of coffee).\u00a0 I try to get in 80 ounces before 5pm, so this wasn’t great.\u00a0 And it probably contributed to my exhaustion.<\/p>\n

I wanted nothing more than to head home, stop by a take-out place and get dinner, and plop down on the couch.\u00a0 But that wasn’t really a viable option.\u00a0 So instead, I got home, chugged some water, and hopped onto the treadmill to get in my 4 mile run while watching an episode of The West Wing.<\/p>\n

(Side note – if you’re a West Wing fan and not listening to the podcast Josh Malina is doing with a friend discussing each of the episodes, you are missing out.)<\/p>\n

And by the end of the run, I felt a lot better.\u00a0 I still wanted to crawl into bed, but I definitely felt less exhausted.\u00a0 And I was glad to have gotten in the workout.\u00a0 My first tri of the season isn’t that far away, and I need to be getting in my workouts.\u00a0 And also taking care of myself.\u00a0 Today’s goal?\u00a0 Lots of water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
