walk!

On Saturday, dilletante and I walked to Arlington center and back -- about 12.1k. Now, we did stop for a meal, but still, I feel pretty accomplished. And my body has felt great ever since. Er, except for the limping. I started getting serious foot pain in the last few blocks, and my foot hurt for the rest of the evening. It's better, now, though, and I feel perkier than I have in weeks.

Man, I love exercise. It's like magic.

You can most definitely do the 10k then. There's water pit stops every mile at least. Sadly, the buddy sign-up is only if one of you has been in the race before and one of you hasn't, so we'll all have to pay the extra $6, but still! A fabulous 10k with food at the end! I think you should totally do it.

Oh, it's on a Monday (http://www.tufts-healthplan.com/tufts10k/thp10k.php)! Are you taking the day off? Is it one of those holiday things I've heard about?

Anyway, I'm very excited to try it, yeah. :) If I can stop and sit for a minute every mile, and carry clif bars with me, I think I will be just fine!

It's on Columbus Day. I get the day off automatically. Do you? Would you still be willing to do it if you didn't?

I don't get it off, but I'd take it as vacation -- I'm sure at least my bank-client (if not my big-computer-company-client) will be out of the office for the day.

You are sooooooo hardcore!

You walk 7 miles for the fun of it.... while in your third trimester. :)

Aw, you sweet-talker. Really I did it because I'm stubborn, and I was feeling glum in that loose, unexercised way. There was a lot of waddling and pausing. :)

I think a lot of being hardcore is just being stubborn.

Yeah, true. A very good point.
