Did I mention how happy we all are in DC that Obama was re-elected? Working for the Republicans again would've been the pits. I still would've had all my good projects, but our management (upper, that is) would've taken a terrible hit and it could have become (even more!) unpleasant to work at my agency.
Today, I almost didn't write--again! I'm working from home and with my more relaxed schedule, it's a good day for a run. I did 30 minutes (plus 5 min on each end for warm up and cool down). I'm still not reaching 5K in that time, but my pace is getting steadily better. I am pondering signing up for a race. I don't really want to race but it would motivate me. I would run faster, I'm sure, if other people were around. But is that a good thing? I am very, very worried about hurting myself. Yet, I have almost no aches and pains (at the moment). I think my body may actually be able to handle this very low level of vigorous exercise. Interesting.
Ok, that's all I have time for today.
Grateful for: a good work out.
I don't think a lot of people hurt themselves on 5Ks, so the risk for you is probably pretty low. And on the subject of your previous post, knowing you only from your writings I don't think any differently of you for your change in perspective, except that I'm glad you're happier and worrying less about this issue.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm not really afraid of hurting myself on the 5K, but consistency is more important to me than prowess. I think I will sign up for the race, though.
