Experiment #1: Couch to 10k in 20 Weeks (Day 5)

Success! Sort of....

My Tuesday walk was lovely, despite the fact that I almost completely forgot about it. I was at work late, trying to prepare for a crazy week by making eight bazillion copies. (It's a real number, I promise.) By the end of it, I was cold, tired, and feeling a creeping sickness coming on. I made an excuse to walk to Starbucks, grab some hot tea, set my timer, and put my headphones on. I spent the next half-hour hour cracking up laughing, listening to Louis C.K. and strolling around Roland Park.

I was colder and even more exhausted by the time I was done, but it was well worth it. Actually, I'm pretty sure that today's snow day saved me. I got home, took some Nyquil, and passed out by 9:00, and I got up today around 1:30. Given the weather right now, I will be lucky enough to get another snow day tomorrow. Getting to the gym is another story, but I'm going to walk in the snowy drifts if it kills me. Something tells me that I will lose patience with being stuck indoors, early on.

Can't I just be a hermit, in peace? No, not likely.
