Frustration and chaos

17.63 km, 1 h 29 min 21 sec. A really hard run with a lot of frustration that needed out.

A bad start on the day. Off to school for the third day in a row. In some ways, the school is really good. In other ways, it has... room for improvement? It has a high academic standard, but sort of forget, in some grades, that the students actually might need more than just academic qualification- fundamental social skills for example...

Continued with that we had to cancel a workshop at work, where we had put a lot of effort to bring the right people here, flying in from 7 timezones away, preparing presentations etc. The people that had been pushing for us to arrange this didnt even bother to answer the invitation. Tack för kaffet, as we say in swedish.

And to round off, there were yet some more prepared meetings, flight tickets and hotels that needed to be cancelled last minute.

Oh, and I am looking forward to 6-7 hours at Miami airport on Monday when flying to Jamaica. Thank you, American Useless Airlines. At least I can fly with the directflight back, COPA.

Everything built up to a terrible run, much too fast. Three very fast laps, around 5 min/km, which is fast on this track with all ups and downs, around 55-60 meter each lap (3.75 km). Came home completely exhausted, close to falling in the stairs.

Oh, and it is easy to see that it is presidential election in a few weeks. Not only the increased heat in the debate and slogans on the posters (more on that later), but the ruling party tries to fix things, to show that something happens when they are in power. Now they were fixing some more lights in the park, probably for the first time in a year. Well, at least something is happening the last three weeks out of five years in power..
