Ok, that was interesting

So this was sitting enqueue all day practically... I'm spacing out.

I don't believe I've sat down at all besides in class or eating until just now. Wow.

Snow is crazy. Freezing is a warming process, so it was warmer WHILE it was snowing. Now it's just slushy and cold. At least we have heated sidewalks in places and probably one of the most ON IT plow crews evar. Seriously, I nearly got ran over by them a couple times.

I started a new "carry with me so I don't forget things because I am the Queen of Notes to Self" notebook. It's copper. Shiny. It has a pocket in the back. It's slim enough to fit in my coat pocket. I might be a little too in love with this thing.

I am so glad that it's Friday, my brain is only working at half capacity, it feels.

And this guy is my hero.



Since today is the first of February and all the New Years Resolutions people should be giving up on going to the gym anyway, I went to the student gym this morning. I only walked on the treadmill, because I'm working up to the running and I've learned that starting hard just makes me hurt and not want to go. So I'm upping the difficulty as I go. Keeping the time constant. It's like a little science experiment!

Heated sidewalks sound so sci-fi.

Have fun with the building up to running. Take care of yourself.

Considering a previous conversation, the copper notebook amuses me. And eff them, you could have any number of reasons to not be a track star. Idiots.

:D Yay working out.

that's why you know it's going to snow when it's warmer out.

heated sidewalks are sweet. i wish the roads were heated.

Walking is doubly nice because you can read while you are doing it. Our gym has a plethora of very trashy magazines that I will sometimes take as a guilty pleasure.

There is nothing wrong with NOT running. Walking with an incline can seriously be more of a "muscle"/resistance workout for your thighs and legs, whereas running is dominantly aerobic. Plus, yeah, running SUCKS.
