Proud of myself today - 01/19/10 10:02 PM
Ok... First you have to understand that this is huge for me, especially recently. I decided to walk to work today...I know you're all probably saying big whoop...well it's 7 very long blocks...I know again big whoop, right? Well this from a woman who sat this weekend and was so mad at my mother in law I made and ate almost an entire cake...anyway...sorry I digress...
So 6:30 am in 34 degree weather with a 30 lb book bag, a heavy pocketbook and a heavy coat. I walked the 7 blocks to work. did I mention that the last 2.5 blocks are uphill which you really don't notice in a car, but after eating almost an entire cake, and carrying a heavy book bag and pocketbook and sliding on the black ice on the sidewalk, you notice...:-) I just calculated it and it is .9 miles and I did it in 20 minutes. Now of course when I got to work, I was sweating like a pig in oil...and breathing like someone shut off my personal air supply...but I did it!!! and I walked home too, which was much easier because it was downhill and the weather had warmed up to almost 50 degrees. YEAH!!!
I bet I'll sleep good to - night
