The radio stations in Windsor kick ass. Almost all day today I was listening to a super Misty-friendly mix of disco, funk, & motown all on one station. Made me want to rollerskate.
I ran today. Spent a total of 30 minutes on the treadmill. I accomplished 10 minutes of straight jogging. Considering that it has been probably over 6 months (close to a year?) since I jogged at all, that is DAMN good (for me anyway). When I first started jogging, I could only run for 1 or 2 minutes at a time, tops. So I guess even after all my slacking and junk eating and everything, I am still in better shape than I was a few years ago. Woot. In fact, I could have (and wanted to) run more, but didn't want to be crippled tomorrow. Figured I should wait and see how badly I damaged myself today before I get too gung ho.
I will give some credit for my unexpected success today to NIN's new album. It's a good one. Excellent running music.
It really feels good to indulge my fight or flight 'mechanism'. That run was way more relaxing than anything I have done in a long time. I am definitely joining a gym (probably the Y?) and making this a habit. This, yoga, maybe tai chi, and maybe something more violent like kick boxing. But one thing at a time. Even 30 min to 1 hr on the treadmill a few times a week will make a world of difference for me right now!!
My mattress at this hotel appears to be foam. I don't think there is a single spring in it. I haven't decided if I like it or not. I don't think I do. It's really squishy.
