truant

I should be at yoga right now. It’s my last class for the session, but I just didn’t feel like going tonight. I haven’t been enjoying it as much as I thought I would, so it’s hard to get my butt out the door. Plus it starts at 7:30 and goes until 9:00. Too long, and too late.

So I went for a short walk instead, which was pretty good. I’m trying to decide whether to sign up for another yoga session or not. If I’m not enjoying it, then why do it. But I’d like to do something active at least once I week, so I’m thinking I might switch to swimming.

a great day

My face feels like it’s been pelted a million times over with tiny needles, my back hurts, my legs feel like lead, I’m tired, and my ankles have bruises from my new boots, but it was a great day!

It snowed HARD all day and it was very windy at the top of the chairs, but the snow was nice. West coast powder, and hardly any ice. The visibility was pretty brutal at times — a bit like skiing blind. But it was a great day, honest! 🙂

It was good to get up on a hill after a three-year hiatus. I went up with S and A, and S was a trooper in the weather. When I was her age, I wouldn’t have been out skiing, that’s for sure.

And Elliot had lots of fun with Gramma. That was the longest I’d left him with anyone other than Greg, and when I got back to his Gramma’s house, he smiled at me, came over for a hug, and then promptly went back to playing.

cheap swim

Sprout had his first swimming lesson tonight, with Greg. I tagged along to help in the change room and to do a swim myself. I did 500 m, which I was pretty proud of, seeing as I haven’t swum since I was about seven months pregnant, and my ‘pregnant swmming’ was pretty relaxed.

The lessons are Mondays and Wednesdays and Greg’s going to take him both days, so it looks like I’ll be able to swim twice a week. Yay!

And as an added bonus, the rec centre only charges a dollar when you swim during a swimming lesson for your child. I thought that was pretty cool.

running happy

I got out for a run with kaptaink this morning, first one in a while. We went to Thetis with the pooches, my favourite place to run with a dog.

K wanted to a longer run than I was up for, so I walked for the first bit and she ran in the opposite direction, and when we met up I started running. According to her little Nike iPod doo-hickey, she ran 9.33 km, and I think I ran about 5 km. Not too bad.

When I got home Greg and Sprout were out, so I got to have a hot, leisurely shower and do this blog post. Life’s good. 🙂
