It's HOT. Given that I just spent a week eating and drinking all I wanted without excercising and that my pants are tight right now, I was considering going for a run as I was driving to work this morning....but, then I heard on the radio that the temp is going to be at least 100 degrees with a heat index of 104-109 degrees! No, thank you. It will be the gym for me tonight instead. I've got to lose this extra weight...
Part of me wants to be a runner again...Austin is a great place to be a runner during the fall and early winter. I love running at Town Lake when the temperature finally starts to drop. I love all the excitement of the Distance Challenge races. There's also the fun Fila Relays and Silicon Labs Relay coming up. And, then of course everyone starts training in September for the Austin Marathon in February. I wish I was still the runner that I was a year ago...
Also as I was driving to work (I thought about a lot during that whopping 1-mile commute), I wished I didn't have to work. Every morning I see lots of people out walking their dogs, swimming at Big Stacy pool, running or riding their bikes, or working on their lawns. I wish I could do that. I know that I went to school for a very long time in order to pursue a career in which I would be personally fulfilled by helping others, but it's just not meaningful for me right now. I would happily walk away if I could. Maybe I'd have a part-time practice or something eventually, but for now I'd love to be a lady of leisure for awhile.
