Digg! this story.
The fact that I have been working at churches on Sunday morning for the last 8 years seems to have helped me to forget that Sunday mornings are not the same as other mornings. The fact that at 10 am there were 552 spaces remaining in the parking garage in downtown Santa Monica should have clued me in, but I was determined to remain unaware. My plan was to go to REI and get a water belt and then go run by the beach while it was early and cool. The whole “stores not opening until 11 am” thing threw a little wrench in my plans, but after 20 min of “hmmmm…how can I work this out” I decided not to go home, but to walk the blocks around the REI and then get my belt. Part of the issue is that I have no place to put my ID and keys when I run, and carrying a purse just wouldn’t work out very well, so I needed to get SOMETHING to put my stuff in. I know, some of you say, but there has got to be room in your bra for such things - dear friends, I can assure you, there isn’t even really room for me in my bra, so there ain’t nothing else even comin’ close.
So I did get the water belt and some Clif Bloks (Margarita and Cola - not together, two separate flavors) and finished my workout on the pedestrian lane by the beach. I tried to jog, but it really hurt my knees, and not in that “I’m building muscle” way - more in that “if I keep this up, I’m not going to be able to walk for a few days” way. I ended up walking very briskly instead. Obviously, my un-wise hill workout had longer effects on me than anticipated. But I’m not going to let it stop me…
