Today is a busy day at work and I have been glued to my desk for 98% of the day. I am going squirrelly; my back hurts; my muscles ache; my eyes are fuzzy; my brain is tired. And my shoulders are up to my ears. I am stiff like a corpse. I haven’t seen the light of day since 8am this morning. It’s days like this that I dislike my work; or at least dislike not having clients that I can visit on other floors thereby enabling me to step away from my desk and stretch my legs.
Okay, enough venting – sorry, just had to get it out!
Now, my body WAS made for this: on Saturday, Mark and I are racing in the local St. Patty’s Day Run. We’re doing the 5km, and I’m excited because I haven’t raced a 5km before, only 10km races. And I’m counting the race toward my weekly training schedule (especially since I’m missing today’s run, boohoo!). Coincidentally, the mercury is plummeting tonight and is expected to remain low until after the weekend ie: back into the negative temps with snow flurries. If only Mother Nature could make up her mind to let go of winter…especially after the teasingly mild temps of this week. But I will not let the poopy weekend weather dampen my racing spirits!
Also on Saturday, Mark and I are joining our new dragon boat team for a pre-season training session. That’s right, our old team has folded this year, and we have been lucky enough to join up with our former foes. I’m looking forward to getting back into the paddling action with a new team – and some of my favorite teammates from the old team are also joining, so that’s double excitement, haha!
