Thought Bubbles...

musings, rantings, and what-have-you, about my own small part of the world, and my 'sometimes' not so-ordinary life...something to read and reflect on, and which hopefully will bring a smile to your face... :)

walk-a-thon (ha!)

After work last night, decided to take a walk around our church plaza. It wasn't too hot last night as a breeze was blowing and luckily, there were not too many people in the plaza. No dogs in sight either, which meant no doggie poo! yehey! :D Probably the city's new ordinance has something to do with it. Dog catchers doing their jobs, and catching stray dogs. at last! i can walk in peace.

Walked briskly around the park and after 10 minutes, could already feel the sweat trickling down my back and face. ah! it feels good to walk. it's been a while and i realize now what i've been missing. walking clears my head and i find that i'm able to think through the past day's events more clearly. plus, i get to plan out what i have to do tomorrow. *sigh* will really have to make time to do this nightly. 5 more minutes of brisk walking and i'm headed home.

Back home, it's "strength training" time. Made use of my 'dust-covered' set of dumbbells and after 30 minutes or so, can already feel the strain in my muscles. Either i'm becoming lazy(ier), or i really am so tired. Well at least, all this activity tonight has eased my guilt somehow, about not making time for exercise. hmmm... tomorrow is another day. exercise again? taking it a day at a time... (does this sound like the AA's program for recovering alcoholics? ha ha ha! :D yeah, maybe i'm just being a little too melodramatic...)
