Crazy day. Worked 'til 11, then met a woman at Volunteers in Medicine to start doing some volunteer PT work (instead of random volunteering for beer payment ;-)). After that, I checked into my 1:30 flight to find out leg one was canceled. F.

Got on the phone and got a new itinerary that left at 2:50. So I had enough time to run.

Easy -> uptempo run from the apt, through the Whitaker neighborhood (past Ninkasi, etc) then to the river, and around the water treatment plant and back. Wound the pace down to 6:20 but then the L (rather, both, but strongly L) hammy started to get SUPS tight. So I slowed down. I really think this is due to not using them for so long, and now using them again. At least I hope. L foot was OK.

A little peeved today after last night: got to Max's before 8PM, hoping to see the luscious Whitney and perhaps share a beer with her, post-shift. But when I arrived, she was absent. Then I went on Bookface to find she has a BF. Cripes. More "assumptive hoping", at best.

In theory I have nothing to feel bad about: I was just being nice (but hoping for - not expecting - some more interaction); she was also just being nice. But the theme of "I have a boyfriend, but really poor-defined boundaries, and I'm going to be really nice to you, then pull away" was just too close to recent history. And that sucked.

Back to traveling: got my ass to Denver, only to find my flight to MSP canceled. More conferring with United to find out I could not get there 'til 3PM Saturday - too late to partake in the Retreat. So rather than go to MSP, I simply stayed in DEN with my friend/former UW-La Crosse runner, Dallas.

Went out to a good brew pub for a couple brews and food, then a nightcap. Fun night, all things considered.
