Sunday was a concentrated effort to clean our home office
which over the last few months had gotten out of hand. We shredded papers like we were about to be
audited by the FBI. In the end we got
rid of a filing cabinet full of old paper work and I don’t know how many trash
bags of shredded paper.
It was the kind of day where the time just gets away from
you. You know what I mean. The clock
says it’s 2 PM and the next time you check it’s 6 PM and you are wondering what
happened. How does that happen
anyway? It’s like the time gremlin robs you
of a few minutes here and an hour there.
After working in the office all day I was feeling cooped up
and needed to get out for a jog to clear my head and relieve the stress that I
was carrying in my shoulders and back. It
was the kind of stress and strain from sitting in a chair and looking at papers
all day or trying to figure out why the computer is not working the way it is
supposed to.
I had the beginnings of a tension head ache behind my
eyes. I could feel it dissipate as soon
as I hit the pavement. The knot in my shoulders began melting away. The temperature was good since the sun was
going down and we had a nice evening breeze.
I had a good pace for the first mile my legs felt good and I picked up
speed as my muscles warmed up to the exercise.
I slowed some for the second mile purposely setting a slower pace to
enjoy the outdoors and enjoy the woodsy evening smells that come with evening.
My legs felt good despite the girth I was asking them to
carry around at a better than 4 mile and hour pace. I will need new shoes soon since I have
actually put on a few pounds, as I mentioned, over the past few weeks with
Bella’s illness.
This evening after all was said and done; I had some
fatigue in my legs. They felt strong but
tired.
Daily Recap:
Matt: 30 minute evening jog
Blog Thought of the Day:
I enjoy jogging in the evening, but its still not my
favorite time to jog. As enjoyable as
the evening is I still prefer the middle of the day especially in the hot
sun. With that I would ask: What is your
favorite time of day to exercise?
Morning, day, evening?
