| so i did it....
today, i entered the world of runners. i have been working towards my fitness goals, with my main cardio being kickboxing class, and doing some toning / strengthing work on my arms. but when my gym replaced the kickboxing instructor with some crazy woman with freakishly large calves whose idea of kickboxing class is 10 minutes of stretching and a half hour of jumping jacks, i decided i would have to find another cardio activity. i have always admired runners, and i'm intrigued by the way that runners are so addicted to pounding the pavement, like they get some strange high from it... so i decided to give it a shot. i started today with a 2-mile brisk walk / jog. i kind of liked it. i dont know yet why it's so addicting, but i'm going to keep it up. to try to stay motivated i've set a few goals for myself - going from 0 to runner is going to take some progression.
Goals:
1. Make a regular habit out of jogging
2. Jog / Run (not walk) the holiday 5K in december. i realize 5k isnt very far, so this should be an attainable goal
3. Re-claim bombshell status by the beginning of March | | |

this is my new car. a 1991 BMW 750i. i bought it last friday, and i love it. i havent had a chance to really take it out yet, as it spent the weekend parked with a flat. the previous owner ran over a nail the day i bought the car. but he changed the tire for me and i had it patched and remounted today. i was shocked when i saw the engine in this car! i'm not a big car buff, but the V-12 got me all excited. | | |
| today, work = frustration. i love working for non-profit, i hate working for non-profit. i love what i do, i hate all the little piddley tasks that surround accomplishing the mission. i like knowing that i dont work for "the man" but at the same time, i work for an organization that can't afford (or more acurately wont adjust the budget to be able to afford) to replace the archaic copy machine that finally bit the dust, and now i have to go to the post office to make copies. i have a new manager, and i really think she has no idea what i do. it's incredibly frustrating to work for this woman who thinks i'm her personal secretary, meanwhile i have about a dozen major projects going on, as well as supporting our mission of 24 hour emergency communication, and the daily keep-this-office-functioning tasks. grrrr.
back to work..... | | |
| so i'm back on the web. it's been a while, and i've been considering writing again when today my husband said he thought i should come back to writing, so here i am. i dont know what this site will have in store, but i'm here to throw my thoughts and opinions out into the world again. maybe i'll use this as a platform for my serious thoughts on the state of the world as i know it, maybe it will be full of silliness, most likely it will be a good mix of the two - with pictures of life in europe thrown in every so often too. | | |
