Er, Stuff?

So um, what's up with me sucking lately.  Yeah, I'm not sure either.  I'm still staying in town instead of traveling, and will be doing so until at least this time next year, so I suppose part of it is working out a new schedule.  This getting to work thing is slightly more involved when you don't have to just walk down to the hotel parking lot (er.  that just made me sound way lazier than I am.  Especially since I am actually chronically early for everything.)

So I am still loving choir.  *jumps up and down*  It's getting easier, so I guess before I was just rusty instead of the "way out of my depth" that it felt like.  I also got conned into joining handbells (by which I mean some one asked and when I hesitated three more people jumped on to assure me how fun it was, so I had a hard time saying no).  It is slightly more enjoyable than I remember it being in middle school.  Possibly because the handbell choir is not made up of pre-teens. 

I also started doing the whole C25K thing and actually ran for 17 min strait the other night.  It was supposed to be 20, and despite the fact that I didn't make it all the way, I'm rather gobsmacked by what I did.  This is in tiny type because I both feel compelled to share, and am not sure I actually want anyone to know in case I never finish and they keep asking me about it. 

So yeah, tomorrow is likely to bring a pimping post for some land communities.

That's great you're enjoying choir. Mine just started back up. We have a new choir-director, and I think it's going to be really cool this year. :D

I did handbells for a while, but not enough people participated, so they disbanded it. *shrugs*

Good luck with the new choir director. That is always an interesting time.

I'm pretty sure the not enough people participating thing is why so many people jumped in to "reassure" me when I showed hesitation. There is one guy who is ringing something like eight bells.

Handbell choirs are awesome. I was never in one, but I've heard music of some before, and they're lovely. Glad you're enjoying it more now. =)

I'm not sure I've ever really heard a good handbell choir. I always seem to come in contact with the ones who mangle the music so much that I can't tell what song it is supposed to be. I will have to seek out some of the good ones.

I know. It sucks having an overdeveloped sense of responisibility :).

It's great that you're enjoying choir so much :D

Good luck with the C25K!

C25K is awesome. You're in week 6? I think?

I doing it, but haven't gone in almost a week - been sick, and it's lingering. GAH. Am right on the verge of the 'run 20' thing- like, it;s the next run I have to do. So terrified. Are you on a track or the road? Pavement running KILLED me last week - went Tuesday, and my calves killed all week.

That was me, btw. Seems to have logged me out mid-reply. Oy.

The last day of week 5, though I've been doing each week twice, so it's week 5 again this week.

I was super terrified too. It such a leap from eight minutes before a break to twenty. That's partly why I'm not even disappointed that I didn't quite make it.

I'm running on a path in a park, but it's paved like the road. I can be bothered to shell out the money for a gym membership or a treadmill, so it looks like I'll be roading it for the foreseeable future.

I want to start running, too... I know you're waaaay ahead of me, but maybe we could sort of run together?

I guess I could start the program over on my off days. How are Mondays, Fridays for you? You'd have to do Wednesday on your own.
