let me tell you, i could get used to this relaxing weekend thing. this is the first weekend in a while where i've forced myself to do nothing all weekend long. it's really hard for me, because if i sit down to watch tv, i feel like i should be doing something else at the same time.
yesterday i went to target (counts as nothing - i can't just go cold turkey) and then came home to read and nap. it was so nice to lay in bed and hear the fall wind blowing outside while i read and cat napped. today i've done nothing as well. i'm planning on another reading/napping session and then going to church. i might practice singing (performance next saturday!) but other than that, i'm going to veg. this is the life! i'm still fighting the urge to turn my laptop on and get some work done, but i'm going to try not to.
i think i might even take the day off from the gym. i've been SO good. this week i've done 10 miles - three on tuesday, one mile on wednesday, five miles on friday and a speedy mile last night. i am down to a 7:41 mile, which is not bad considering that i haven't really been keeping up for the last six years and i really haven't run since i broke my foot. i am learning that i roll to the right on that foot because it's making my ankle sore on those long distance days. i'm taking the advice from a friend at work who qualified for the boston marathon and doing some balance exercises to get my foot used to not having that balance bone in there. i think it's going to help, but that right leg is still pretty shaky!
ok, off to do some more relaxing! have a great sunday!
