on an bender

An exercise bender, that is (well, kinda).

Anyway, today I just went down to sign up for summer session at the ymca pool - I can go along weeknights and Saturday night from 6:15pm-9pm. Even bought myself one of those baba swim suits (the ones that mean you dont have to bother about shaving anywhere as you are basically covered head to toe - at least there is one less excuse not to go to the pool...) Hoping to make it at least once a week, but if possible, try to go 2 times a week from now until end of Aug. Wish me luck!!

I just realised that my big run last night was a maximum of 2 (two, duos, 二）km. Yikes. How embarrasing. Well. gotta start somewhere, right?

I dont know what it is about the hot weather, but it kinds spurs me on to exercise. lets see if I can keep it up for more than 3 days tho, THAT is the challenge.

a bit pathetic, but at least a start....,

I RAN tonight.
Ok, it was only down the hill to the lights by the local "mine mart", but going down the hill also meant I had to come back up it, right?!!

I took R, but *she* was actually dragging behind (she wanted to do her business, peeing and pooping and smelling the flowers and shit everywhere, while I just wanted to get there and back, lol)

I don't know why, but for some reason today I just felt like I could do it, run, I mean. In all this heat too.....

But I did realise that trying to go for a run on a night when J goes to the gym is just NOT going to work - got home and had to do the shower/bath routine with K, then L started balling just as J was about to head off for the gym, so I ended up hotter after my shower than before it. And everyone was so out of sorts (due to me skipping out for half an hour hence putting back the pre-bed-time routine) that both K and L have really only just got to sleep, affter 10pm! So now I have had 10mins to myself, before J gets home (can hear the car now) and I just realised I still have to iron his freakin' shirts for work. yikes.

Anyway, - bring on tomorrow and Thurs, when J doesnt go to the gym. If my body hasn't "broken" by then, I might try jog again ;-)
