A Long Day

Sometimes you feel on top of the world, strong and powerful. Other days are tough. Today was more tough, but I was happy to see that I had a great workout by the end of the day.

I had trouble sleeping last night, just mindracing about work issues, and I got to sleep about 3 am and woke up about 5:30 am. Not a lot of sleep for a guy in training!

But, contrary to old patterns, I jumped on my bike and went to and from work (21 kms) then went for a walk/jog with Cindy in the afternoon (about 3.5 kms). Nothing like the massive effort on Saturday, but a respectable workout and something to be proud of.

I realized today that I'm probably exercising around 9-10 hours a week, on average over the past few months. That's pretty sweet and I can't imagine going back to much else.

Another thing that was cool today is that Cindy mentioned that I had gone for my first run in September, before my trip to the states. That run was to the head of our block and back. About 1 km! It's amazing what a few months of consistent effort will do for the body and mind!
