30-minute "run" - Honestly, this was more like a walk with occasionally quarter mile jogs. I was just tired and exhausted and it was nice to be outside, but it was not nice to be running. Oh, well. Onwards.

This was not my finest month and I definitely did not meet my goals, but I tried to prioritize movement when I could. There was a day or two when I could probably have worked out and I didn't, but that's life, right? Onward.
"prioritize movement" is the most one can do, Engie. Through my eyes, you seem to have done great!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the vote of confidence. I did TRY and I'm going to give myself credit for that.
Delete"30-minute "run" - Honestly, this was more like a walk with occasionally quarter mile jogs."
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA
Oh man - I feel this all. the. time.
I have a 10-minute rule that if I've been exercising for ten minutes and still don't want to do it, I can stop. But that's hard when you've run ten minutes! *sigh* I wish I were a better runner, but I also acknowledge that I don't put near enough time into it to improve.
DeleteYou did JUST FINE. And I love all those runs! Run/walks are perfectly fine, it's still exercise and there's no running police going to come and arrest you. And, like you said- it's just great to be outside.
ReplyDeleteThe running police would LOCK ME UP. That's a good reframe, Jenny. I was outside and that counted.
DeleteIs the student union private or do you practice in front of people? I'd applaud you for that. I do stretches at my desk sometimes and I am waiting for someone to come by and say 'what are you doing'? And my respsonse will be "taking care of myself, and you?":)
ReplyDeleteThere is a room in the union where we practice. It's open to faculty, staff, and students, but generally there are 3 - 5 people there. So it's not like in the meeting area of the union or anything like that! I would certainly NOT be okay with that.
DeleteThis looks so good. I rarely manage to move every day and here you are doing so much. Very inspiring. But honestly not sure if i ever manage to get there.
