They just keep on comin’

The stats updates, I mean. If you’re reading this and the stats are getting old, sorry! This is the only place I’m writing this stuff down at…so…you can skip if ya wanna.

I had Friday off thanks to the holiday on Monday, so J and I walked the butte. Man, J books it up the butte! Geez. Well, part of my slow-pokedness was due to the fact that I a) am still fat, b) just bought new walking shoes, and c) was wearing polyester novelty socks instead of thick cotton athletic socks. It sounds like such a small thing, but athletic socks really make all the difference. Also?? The weather that day was threatening rain, so I bought this rain coat thing that was too small (my inches lost victory deflated a bit there) and way too uncomfortable. So, I stopped to tie the thing around my waist and I put my water bottle on the stone wall next to the road. On the other side of the wall was a straight drop down the butte. There was a fleeting thought that I should have listened to that said “I bet my water bottle is going to fall.” It did. And I had literally just bought the thing moments before! Irritating.

Let’s just say that there was a lot of stopping to adjust my socks and shoes and rain coat…it was just overall an irritating walk.

No matter, I felt that I did alright. On Saturday, however, my whole upper body was sore and tight…probably from the weight training on Thursday. Today is better. But it’s back to the butte…or gym…for more work tomorrow. Woo!

Okay. Now it’s time for church again. Tomorrow is the first day of Lent, so tonight is Forgiveness Vespers. I kinda don’t want to go but…I need to regain my spiritual endeavors.
