i am stronger than yesterday!

Haha. So anyways. :)

I walked to work again this morning. I took the 7.1km route from Keele/Bloor down Dundas St. W., across to College (although I almost missed the turnoff to College in the process of almost getting hit by a streetcar!). Then straight down College.

At the brilliant (no sarcasm, it seemed like a great idea at the time!) suggestion of Michael I had downloaded some Learn Korean podcasts to listen to. Boring! So I listened to some CBC Comedy instead. I had downloaded a couple podcasts before and they weren't so good (bad comedy is so painful to listen to btw), but these were SO FUNNY! I must have looked positively ridiculous walking down the sidewalk laughing to myself. I kept pretending I was coughing.

I love funny!

I still felt it in my legs about a third of the way into the trip, but I felt good! I wore warmer pants and less layers on top so my overall temperature was good. My legs were a wee bit sore from the 14+km I walked yesterday plus the double header of dodgeball, but it wasn't terrible.

On the way to work I passed a YMCA. From what I can recall, memberships are not cheap (although I hear that if I lie about my income, they might be able to give me a reduced rate?), but I figure if it's reasonable, I can walk to the Y, go for a swim in the mornings, then either walk or take the streetcar the rest of the way to work! I have decided that after work activities that are optional are not for me. It's very hard to find the motivation to go after work. It's slightly easier to find motivation to get up earlier. Slightly.

So even though it's been a whopping two days I actually feel a bit stronger. I'm sure it's all in my head, but I don't care. Although, I have to say, my thighs aren't loving that I decided to wear heels at work today (not to work, I'm not crazy like Olessia <3 ).

I look forward to doing this regularly. We'll see what happens when the snow hits; however, I am determined to buy boots that are warm and waterproof! This will be the first time in many, many years. I can't actually remember the last pair of boots that I bought that were warm and waterproof. I look forward to warm and dry toes this winter!

Tomorrow morning is a spin class, which I hope to make it to. And I will try to round out the week by walking to work every day.

And I am probably jinxing myself by saying this, but now that the super crazy busy has almost passed, I should have more time to breathe and maybe post a bit more often. I'll work on being funnier!

I should also add that we played some kickass dodgeball last night!! We were seriously on fire! I don't know when we got so good, but that was the best we've ever played! It was very fun! Ok, that is all!
