Well, not quite.
I've decided that in the spirit of last semester's unveiling of "Studious Sarah," this semester would be the introduction for the "Sporty Sarah" model. Not to mention "Moderately More Organized Than Previously, For a Few Weeks at Least Sarah," a rather unsuccessful model frequently reintroduced, who usually fails in the actual market. I'm registered for Tai Chi, twice a week at 10am. This morning I slept through the alarm and was late, largely because of my other new activity, yoga. Four days a week (MTW evenings and Th mornings) there's a drop-in yoga class in the student center. The first day was great. The second day, yesterday, was harder. This was due both to the fact that I was a little sore from day one, and also because Tuesday's instructor is really really big on isometric exercize. This morning I was one big ache. I haven't hurt like that since high school, when I was on the track team and spent three days a week laboring in the weight room.
Tai Chi ends at 10.50, and lunch doesn't start for another hour. Since I'm already at the gym (a ten minute walk from my house -- leagues on Girl Land scale), I've decided to make this my running time. Today, for the first time in I don't know how long, I ran a mile and a half. The best part is they have those elliptical training machines, so my back, knees and hips aren't in pain as they usually are after a run. I'm so happy with my low-impact fitness selections! Hopefully other things will join my routine as the semester progresses, but even if they don't, I'm hoping to be less stressed, more centered, stronger and more toned. Not to mention feeling a whole lot better both physically and mentally. Imagine if I had less angst. What a revolutionary thought! We're all about revolutionary here.
