It's been 2 months since I finished my arangetram, but I'm only now starting to feel like I've established a post-arangetram routine - and it's amazing! It's everything I dreamed having 2.5 hours of my day back would be. Ed and I have been pretty good about going to the gym to do our women's weight lifting routine (have I mentioned that Ed is a really good sport about everything?). This weekend, I finally bought a new pair of outdoor running shoes - a mere 8 years or so after I bought my last pair, and tried them out today doing a wuss "run"*. It's the first time I've been excited about running in years. Also today, I got my bike pedal restored, which had been broken since the week of my arangetram.
This is what freedom looks like
What's even more amazing is that I went to dance class for the first time since my arangetram and I truly enjoyed it. I had practiced a few times over the summer, but I was so burnt out that I was not feeling it. Yesterday, however, I was really happy to be there, something I hadn't felt in probably a year. It's great to be back!
* wuss run: An athletic activity wherein the participant alternates between walking and jogging, switching as the song on said participant's audio apparatus changes.
Oh oh! How are you liking NRLW?
ReplyDeleteI like the exercises a lot. I had been doing the same weight lifting routine I learned in high school for the last 10 years, so it's a great way to mix it up. I just recommended the book to my sister, who's considering starting weight training for the first time. I didn't care for the book's take on nutrition - the feeling I got was that they were convinced you couldn't follow the program as a vegetarian - LAME!
