Well, that's not completely true. I tried it once, about 7 years ago. I don't really count that past attempt since it involved me running to the end of my street and then walking back to my house again, realizing that I just wasn't up for this kind of physical activity. Since that fateful day, I guess I just concluded that running wasn't my thing...
But that has all changed now. Running may be my thing! Mark and I went for a nice, relaxed jog/walk through the park by our house yesterday. It wasn't that difficult, but it wasn't totally easy either. We went at my slower pace, taking breaks from jogging by gently strolling through the beautiful North Vancouver wilderness. We chatted, shared stories from the day, and I still managed to work up a bit of a sweat. And, having Mark there encouraged me to jog a bit more than I would have if I had been alone. It was wonderful.
We came home, me sweating a bit of a glow and Mark totally unfazed. I did dishes while Mark cooked up a gorgeous seared lemon garlic halibut dinner with roasted potatoes and greens with avocado, pecans, and goat cheese. Delicious! After dinner, I did laundry and Mark napped on the couch until bedtime. It was a delightful evening...I could definitely get used to this sort of lifestyle!
So, here's the plan: Mark and I are going out jogging again today, after we both get home from work. And I'm actually excited about it! Tonight, I'm meeting up with John to discuss my debt. I think I may invite him over to the house and cook for him, though, rather than go out to Raglan's...I just don't have the money for that right now... We'll see what he thinks about that...
Money, money, money...I am in deep need of it. I missed my last credit card payment, and I need to pay my phone bill. *SIgh* but it's okay.... it will all be okay. I just need to relax, take care of myself, work hard, and save my money! I can do this!
More to come tomorrow.
