There's been a weird malaise in me recently, which is amusing given how busy I've been -- my motto for June was "Survive June" and I seem to have done fairly well, though June's not quite over yet. I had two conferences bookending a week in Texas, and I survived all of that, at least. Mostly productive work, though towards the tail end of conference #2 I was dragging a lot, and that hasn't passed off yet.

I'm running a 5K not this weekend but next, in Chinatown, and while in theory I'm capable (I did the Color Run a few weeks back, at the start of Survive June, and broke my personal best pace/time), it's been rough going on the running front lately. I was meant to get up and run this morning and somehow managed to just straight-up sleep through three alarms. Fortunately alarm #4 is the "Get up if you want to get to work on time" alarm and that one got me up, but that's very unusual for me. Usually I wake up at four regardless of alarm.

I know googling medical symptoms tends to cause Google Hypochondria in a lot of people, but does anyone else ever feel super-relieved when they google what they think they might have and it becomes immediately obvious they don't? Like I did google mononucleosis, just in case, but I don't have enough symptoms other than "Man I'm tired" to qualify, and anemia is out since I had a blood test for it relatively recently. I'm just effin' tired.

But there is a three-day weekend coming, and at least the weather's nice for running; tomorrow I'll try again. I have a new route I want to try, which is 5K itself with a turnaround at a 24-hour hot dog stand in the middle; I'm considering the French Fry Invitational....
