Challenge 60: Exercise

March 12, 2010

It's a chilly morning here in Oakland. The sky is grey and a few raindrops have fallen. I'm on the couch, still, cozy in some blankets with the puppy curled up next to me. I slept out here. I let my guests take the bedroom, which is nice for everyone! They get some privacy and I have an excuse to sleep on the couch (which I secretly love doing). I get to be closer to the puppy as I sleep and I wake up in a brighter room. My morning feels relaxed. I have some stuff to do but I'm not worried about it. Coaching at 11, work at 1:30.

Last night was lovely. I picked up Jade and Kate from the airport and they came back to my place to meet the pets, who were much more well behaved then I expected them to be. We chatted and caught up for a couple hours before all of us were tired and ready for bed. My house is looking clean and orderly, and the smell of coffee is coming from the kitchen...a smell that I love, but not a drink I enjoy.

Yesterday my challenge was to go for a run. It was one of those wonderful and sunny days where everything just felt good and right. On my run I daydreamed and envisioned myself in some wonderful places in the future. The dog was being good and I saw Lily. I coached for a good chunk of the days. Things just felt right. I also took down some curtains in my living room that make the room dark and that I really don't like. It has made a HUGE difference in here. So much so that I am finding myself spending a lot more time in here. The quiet in the house this morning is calming. Today...so far so good.

I'm really not sure what my challenge for today should be so I'm just going to keep writing and hope something comes to me within the next couple of sentences. I keep thinking I should put exercise back on there, but since I did that yesterday, I don't want to repeat it too much. But actually, it is really what I want to do and it will be a challenge because it's rainy and I won't have time to go to the gym. Ok, so there it is. Exercise.
