Hm… today was rather difficult to assess, if I’d been given the job of assessing it. I did a nice run/walk around the park, with actually quite a bit of running… or I probably should say jogging as it was pretty slow going. Still, it was very encouraging.
I love walking around here partly because the people-watching scene is unmatched. I actually saw a guy who was doing cross training — alternating between jumping rope and riding a unicycle. I didn’t take a water bottle, just chugged a bit of water before going and then stopped at various water fountains along the way. The water tasted so deliciously earthy and life-giving.
Then, still at the park, I stopped by the Saturday farmers market and picked up several gorgeous peak-of-ripeness tomatoes. Then I came home and chowed down on them, and on lunch. I realized late in the day that I probably should have had coffee at some point. I’ve been tired and sort of listless all day. I will probably just read a while and go to sleep early. It seems silly to stay up since I have no plans. I guess I’m kind of lonely to be home on a Saturday night with nothing going on. I talked to my Dad and to my brother for a little while on the phone, but I miss my husband. I’m in a sort of feeling-sorry-for-myself mood. Well, this will surely pass. Am having brunch with a friend tomorrow and plan to wake up early and go to a spinning class at the gym.
P.S. The first line on the bottom of the chart indicates where I actually stopped exercising. The rest of the heart rate numbers are for tomato shopping and strolling home. (Meant to turn off the monitor but accidentally set it for another “lap” instead.)
