What a Week!

Like the title says, what a week! Going back to work after a nice long break is always hard. I didn't get to the gym at the beginning of the week like I wanted because a little thing called grades got in the way. I was still finishing up putting in grades, heck, I was still frantically grading, so I wasn't able to get to the gym. But when I did, I started the Couch to 5K and didn't hate it.

I would like to say I have a love/hate relationship with running, but then I'd be a liar. I have a hate/hate relationship with running. I hate it, it hates my knees. You get it. But I was able to get through it with a little help from my eclectic mix of music on my iPod. Luckily for me, the gym is pretty dead when I'm there so no one really notices me lip syncing along with the song. Or at least they haven't made fun of me to my face. And I'm ok with that.

Hopefully, I will keep this up and start enjoying running. Who am I kidding? I'd be happy not to think, "I hate this," with every step I take!

As far as my other goals for this year and for my 101 in 1001, I've been off the stuff (soda) since Jan. 1. I've been reading a book about Catholicism. I wore skinny jeans to church and to Columbia on Jan. 2 (not in a totally confident way, though). I also got my schedule for my classes to start in a few weeks for my Specialist degree.

How's that for a start?
