Do you believe in life after LEAF
Jun. 18th, 2013 01:04 pmYesterday I jogged again.
I wasn't looking forward to it. I hemmed and hawed about whether or not to do it at all, because I wasn't really "feeling" it, but...as we say here at the LEAF blog: Something has to be done.
SO I did it.
And while I still didn't enjoy it, I did get it done. And maybe, just maybe, I felt a little better about myself after the fact.
That's take 2 of Week 5/Day 1, for those keeping count. Which...is basically me isn't it?
No really, that's okay. I prefer it that way to be honest.
( And now is the time on Sprockets where we delve just a bit too far into the neurotic bag of crazy that is Bing and her amazing brain weasels... )
Then after jogging I biked into work, which was lovely. Just absolutely lovely.
The way home...was less so. I left just as a huge thunderstorm hit, so there was a good half hour yesterday where I was seeking shelter in the shadow of an elevated outdoor tunnel. There were a couple of too-close-for-comfort peals of thunder that made me jump, but short of that it was pretty uneventful.
That is until I got home and realized I'd done something to my ankle. It's a sharp, localized pain at the base of my Achilles, but only on the lateral side. So...I took some Advil and resigned myself to being ginger with it to see what's what. This means that today instead of riding my bike to work I took the bus.
I miss my bike.
