A "full" day yesterday constituted waking up at 7:45am to be at work by 9:30 until 1pm, followed by orientation in my college and departments from 1:30-5pm. Dinner, some comedy courtesy of Netflix, and some hang-out time with my buddy SS and her weenie-dogs (Bekah came along to play with her little buddies!), I called it a day at 9pm! I was soooo exhausted! Didn't get my daily nap :-|
Little did I know that going to bed at 9pm meant that I would wake up at 4am...gah! Laid in bed until 4:30 and decided I was awake enough to get something done. Made coffee and farted around for an hour; the dog and I set out at 5:30am for a meandering walk that turned into a 90min walk/jog. Mostly walking, a few spurts of 2-5min jogs. Kinda fun. What was funny to me is that when I got to a point that I was sick of walking and could either backtrack or continue on the way I had intended to go, it would end up being about the same distance either way :) Haha. I just logged it in on LogYourRun.com and it ended up being just over 5 miles! Speaking of that website, I just entered my data (pretty cool site for those who are somewhat techy and want a way keep track of exercise, mileage, etc. It even keeps track of which shoes you use for which workouts, which bike you use . . . different types of workouts . . . cool site and fairly uncomplicated, so as not to confused those of us who are ONLY slightly techy!). ANYwho - not only can I link my completed info to my facebook page or tweeter twitter whatever but the website also offers "blog info" - when I clicked that, this is what appeared:
