| Spring Grove, Fall 2011 |
Fall is considered a time to harvest what is left of the year before hunkering down to regroup for spring. I think I will try to harvest the many things I've started and not finished, or at least some of them--my writing, in particular. My Racing Hearts writing group is motivation. Patty just got one of her pieces published, as did Lisa. I'm editing my poem for the War Anthology. We should try to see how many publications come out of our group!
But this is my exercise blog, so how is this related? I am trying to be the best "me" I can be, physically, and otherwise as well. My physical being is tied to my mental state--it both enhances it and is affected by it--negatively if that's where my head is at. I want my head to be in the best possible place, and that means accomplishing things I think will enhance my life. Writing, exercising, eating well, meeting new people: harvesting these lovely areas of my life.
Starting Sunday--a new week of exercise, a new crown (only for my tooth), the first of a set of golf lessons, a trip to Ann Arbor, and a work gathering--some nice ways to begin the month and the penumbra of the season.
Sunday: 3 mile run--ran first mile strong--a 9 min hilly mile; the next two--not so much! walked at least twice for about a minute each. About 32-33 minutes for 3 miles.
Monday: woke feeling bloated and out of sorts (bad dreams, too). Will do a fruit and veggie fast today through Wednesday (with a side of chicken) before heading to Ann Arbor on Thursday. Need to feel a bit "cleaner" and lighter. I think eating out makes it hard to control sodium, a prime culprit for me, I think. Otherwise, am thinking today that, as one site noted, it's as much a mistake to exercise too much as too little, and sometimes, the body just needs to rest. I am taking that day today!
Tuesday: run
Wednesday: golf lesson #1
Thursday: on the road to Ann Arbor; walked around Ann Arbor
Friday: more walking around Ann Arbor
Saturday:long walk w/Cathy
