A day to take it easy!!
Jul. 6th, 2010 06:30 pmWith temps in the triple digits - and high humidity - I made the executive decision to declare it a chill day. Just walking to and from the subway (and a side trip to Trader Joe's), I sweated quite a bit. Also, my apartment has only a window unit a/c and a couple of fans, so I decided not to push it. I'm hanging in my bedroom with the lights off (conserving at least SOME electricity, plus lights put out heat) in my underwear to stay cool. It's that kind of day.
If it's this hot tomorrow (I need to check the news), I'll take stuff and go to the gym and do a workout on a spin bike or something. At least they have something resembling central air.
That said... I have a new running goal to add on!!!
First goal is a 5K in September. I'm leaning towards the Komen, but not positive yet.
Second goal is to run the Disney World half-marathon in 2012. I'm not going to rule out doing the full, but the half feels like a good initial goal that's subject to increase. I'd rather start "small" (like 13.1 miles is "small") and then before I have to choose say "You know what? I can do the full!" than start going for the full and have to drop back to the half. Does that make sense? (I'm also not silly enough to think I'd be ready for even the half in 2011. I want to push myself, not kill myself.)
So... Yeah!! Another sign to make and hang up!! I seriously need to get a bulletin board and make it my goal board!
